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 have had two knee surgeries with Dr. Baraga and find him responsive, caring, and knowledgeable. I new everything about the procedure prior to surgery which increased my comfort level immensely. Getting ready to schedule my 3rd knee surgery with him next year.

Had Surgery with Dr Baraga and his team 19 hours ago. I had to leave a review! everything I had of concern he made me feel at ease and relax I was having alot of anxiety right up to the surgery. He was right there by my corner with my wife 15 mins before surgery he looked at me reassuring me everything was going to be okay with a laser eye focus of confidence. Hes the best. Hes the Tom Brady of orthopedic surgeons.

I highly recommend Dr. Baraga!!! I had a serious multi-ligament knee tear from a basketball injury and didn't know what to do or where to go, but by the mercy of God I was able to find Dr. Baraga! From day 1 he was confident, well-mannered, and just overall a great Doctor. I could honestly say he is the best doctor I have ever had, he gives the patients ease and comfort, and answers all your questions. The surgery went outstanding and my life is slowly getting back to normal. Please go to him!

There are many doctors and surgeons in our country today, but not all are created equal. This is my story. I had a major distal bicep tendon tare due a sports injury. What makes Dr. Baraga special is that he went the extra mile for me for something that he did not have to do. Several months before I tore my bicep I had a $2000 dollar Koi tattoo half sleeve done on the same arm as the injury. What Dr. Baraga did was amazing, he cut along the scales of my Koi fish and completely concealed the scar
