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.

best shoulder surgeon ever!
Dr. Mac replaced my left shoulder (reverse arthroplasty) 16 days ago. I am already so close to 'normal' the PT folks have to keep holding me back. I was completely off painkillers within 6 days and I already have more shoulder rotation and movement than I had before the surgery. I'm very annoyed that these reviews are not more positive, as Dr. Mac is the best. Yes, he works for Kaiser, but the reviews should not fault him for 'amount of time spent with patient', etc. He was completely thorough with me, and answered all of my questions. If you need to have this surgery, you could not ask for a better surgeon.
