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.

I could not ask for a better surgeon or experience! I met Dr. MacLaren a day before collarbone surgery and he provided very detailed information about what would happen and answered questions that I had. It was my first surgery and I was nervous, but he wasn't and that helped to make me calm. After surgery, he assured me that I did well and the follow up appointments were always so pleasant. My incision healed beautifully and is really a testament to his skill as a surgeon. He even thanked me for putting my trust in him to perform the procedure I needed. If anyone ever needs an orthopedic surgeon, he is it!

What an amazing surgeon! I'm truly blessed to have been referred to Dr. MacLaren! I had a dislocation and a tear in my shoulder, two anchors were placed. I felt better immediately after surgery than I did prior. My recovery time is way ahead of schedule. Speaking with other patients and physical therapists, this is the norm for Dr. MacLaren's surgeries. Once you meet Dr. MacLaren, you just know you are in great hands! Moreover, he is so humble and so kind. I can't speak highly enough him!

I am from Kansas and I had a prior surgery with Dr. MacLaren when I lived in Tampa, Florida. He did a surgery on my knee a few years back and did such a great job that when I had a rotator cuff tear I flew back to Tampa to have my surgery done with Dr.Mac.

Knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions I had about my fractured tibia and was a great surgeon. I would highly recommend him for anyone with ortho issues. The wait was long some days but that's because Dr. MacLaren takes his time talking with his patients and making them feel at ease.

Horrible office staff, 1+ hour waits, rushed and rude doctor. There are too many other orthopedists out there to go to an office with so many problems.
