Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My story seems like a typical one with Dr. Larson. He was incredibly thorough, professional, calm and thoughtful. He was my surgeon for my fractured right clavicle. Before the surgery, he talked me through every aspect of the surgery and the anatomy of my collarbone break and the pros and cons of surgery. Afterward he was available to answer all my many questions via MyChart. Additionally, I’m still blown away by how quickly he was able to schedule me for a consultation and surgery following my accident. I’m very grateful to Dr. Larson.

Excellent surgeon did an incredible job repairing my Right clavicle which had multiple breaks. Extremely professional in all aspects and walked me through each stage in a very clam and professional manner and excellent recommendations on physical therapy. He knew exactly what I needed to heal in the right time frame with no after affects. I would highly recommend him to friends and family and even some strangers. A job well done. Thank you Dr Larson and staff.

I am so happy that DR. LOREN LARSON was recommended to me by a lady at a new comers luncheon! I had arthroscopic surgery for a torn meniscus in 2001 in another city. For many years since, I have had knee pain and have been treated by RFA as well as a variety of pain cremes. I am not ready for knee replacement. When this lady told me about her exceptional service by Dr. Larson I knew I wanted to see him. I got a referral and an xray from my family doctor in Sequim....and when I met with Dr. Larson I was so impressed by his taking so much time to talk to me and giving me options for knee injections ....it was my choice. Now I have no pain, don't need to use any pain cremes, and can have these injections 2x a year if needed....hiking here I come !

We are so fortunate to have Dr. Lauren Larson in our community. After trying conservative treatment on a very painful type 2 SLAP tear in my shoulder, I opted to have arthroscopic surgery. I trusted Dr. Larson very much. He never rushed me into making the decision to have it repaired, he thoroughly answered all my questions , and he explained what recovery would be like very well. I am so grateful for his help. I feel like I have my life back. Dr. Larson is the best!

Had a massive rotator cuff and bicep tendon tear injury. Surgical outcome performed by Dr. Larson was outstanding. I would highly recommend and without hesitation refer anyone requiring orthopedic surgery to have him review your case.

In June of 2018 I was referred by my PCP Dr. Wu to Dr. Larson for severe pain in my left shoulder. After consultation with Dr. Larson, he recommended cortisone shots. Since my initial injection I have had two additional shots to my shoulder. The pain relief was almost immediate and lasted for approximately 5 months. The injections have been a godsend. The injections themselves were painless. I can't recommend Dr. Larson enough. Patsy O.

I am an active 74 year old who injured my right knee and femur, Dr. Larson did a great job on the surgery and had me back in action within 5 months. Dr. Larson and his team are very personable, take their time with you, and are very good at explaining ones condition. I would recommend Dr. Larson to anyone with a broken bone.

Moved to Sequim this spring and discovered I'd torn biceps tendon and two rotator cuff tendons. These were complete tears and since I'm 68 might be tricky to repair. Dr. Larson took time explaining the issues and assured me he would do his best and had many tricks up his sleeve as shoulders are his specialty. Four months later I have full function and range of motion - still working on strength but that takes time. Thanks to a referral to an amazing PT I'm amazed at how far I've come! THANKS!

If you are lucky enough to get an appointment with Dr. Larson then you are very fortunate. I first met him approximately ten years ago when I had extreme pain in my right knee and he used a steroid injection that was very helpful. A few years later I injured my rotator cuff and he performed surgery which took me back to 100%. Recently I broke my clavicle and his advice to let it heal naturally rather than having surgery was a sound call and I am now completely healed. Excellent Doctor! Doug.

Dr Larsen is very thorough in every step, from diagnosis to after care. He is honest, and spends the time to explain exactly what to expect. Would recommend him to family and friends. I had a full tear on my rotator cuff. He ensured I was prepared for the outcome and set me up with extensive aftercare to ensure I had the best chance of a full recovery.

He was compassionate and thorough when evaluating my injury. When I thought he would just put a bandage on my injured finger, he said, "No, we're going to do this right, which will require surgery." Even though it was late in the day and after hours, he made immediate arrangements with the hospital to fix my finger. He went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident in his plan and I have the utmost respect for his expertise. I would definitely refer him to anyone.
