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 was well informed about my options and what to expect. I felt very comfortable with the options I choose and look forward to my next visit to determine what direction I should take. Everyone individual that I had contact with was very helpful and made me feel comfortable. I would have liked to fill out the stack of paperwork and emailed it before the visit.

Dr. Arcand and his associates spent a great deal of time with me and really seemed concerned about my problem.Whatever questions I asked were replied with what i thought was a sincere, well-thought-out answer.When i reviewed my MRI Dr. Arcand took time to explain what I was looking at so I had a better idea of my problem.

Explained all options.
I was taken into exam room within minutes of arriving. PA came in and explained what the dislocation looked like and why it happened 2 times in 5 days. Dr came next and went over all options. Both spoke in layman terms. Awesome.
