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.

This was my first visit with Dr. Doarn & I have to say he is hands down one of the nicest doctors I have ever been to. He is extremely knowledgeable & makes it so veey easy to bring forward any concerns or questions one may have. His kindness & smile is such a rarity to find in the medical field that I could not, nor would I ever think of going to any other doctor. This will forever be my go to doctor for the field he specializes in when needed. Thank you Dr. Doarn for being 100% genuine outstanding & kind person that cares about his patients. Tammy M.

Dr. Doarn & his team are caring and understanding. I appreciate the corrective surgery Dr. Doarn did on my hand, the follow up & PT. He takes time to explain the X-rays & answer questions—very important for me!

The surgeon that put my arm back together!
It was a re ck from surgery, after bad car accident. He is extremely skilled, compassionate & explains well the options moving forward & looking back. My 2 bones in my lower, predominant arm were fractured & tork type break, tissue damage from an accident. I now have titanium plates that were part of the necessary procedure to repair the bones..I have him & his team to credit for his skill, knowledge & compassion that have given back the use of my arm & followed through over the past year with re cks & concerns, always explaining &confirming progress ..with patience & support. 5 stars !!

Where medicine and research merge
I have to have my carpel tunnel revised (redone) so I needed an experienced surgeon. This go around we will be using a new tool that was being researched when I had my previous surgery. So I am excited and hope it works as anticipated. Dr. Doarn has a fantastic bedside manner and is on top of the latest and greatest in his field.

The Best!
We are beyond grateful to Dr. Doarn for the exceptional care and skill in treating our 7 year old son thumb injury. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in the best hands. Dr. Doarn not only explained everything clearly but also reassured both us and our son, helping to ease our anxiety. The procedure was flawless, and the way Dr. Doarn expertly put our child’s thumb back together was nothing short of amazing. The healing process has been smooth, and we owe it all to this incredible doctor. Thank you for your outstanding care and professionalism.

I’ve seen Dr. Doarn several times for my hand and a bicep tendon tear surgery, and everything was great, including his staff. He takes his time and a very caring doctor, with a great caring demeanor. Would highly recommend him!

Great!
It's unfortunate that nowadays doctors are over booked and pushing through patient visits. Today's experience with Dr Doarn was not that. He listened, took his time and made me feel like a patient and not just another number. Made me feel comfortable and explained my options. Would definitely recommend.

He gave very practical information and a basic plan to follow before resorting to surgery. Answered all my questions and seems like a very informed physician. Will not hesitate to return to him should I need future care.

Appointment with Dr Doarn
I never saw Dr. Doarn, only an intern. Probably paid the price to see Doctor. Intern was knowledgeable but was not the surgeon who could have provided more insights into my recovery.
