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.

Dr, Secor is a extremely skilled surgeon with a positive bedside manner that will put you at ease.He is usually booked , but , worth the wait. My mom had knee replacement surgery in her nineties and now walks without a cane.

Terrible experience, and waste of time
I wasted 6 months of my time, including countless hours on the phone and prolonged pain, with Dr Secor’s office. I scheduled two appointments with Dr Secor for shoulder pain but never actually saw him, I was seen by the PA both times. The PA never even did a physical exam. She didn’t check where my pain was, or what movements caused pain. She just prescribed medication, which didn't help. On my 2nd visit, again without a physical exam, the PA ordered an MRI. Cigna needed documentation from the physician of the medication I tried before they could approve the MRI. Cigna contacted Dr Secor’s office 4 times and I literally called them 12 times over 3 months and they would always say they'd send it, but never did. MRI was eventually declined. I finally got smart and went to another doctor. He actually did a physical exam, and within 2 minutes diagnosed me with frozen shoulder. After a cortisone shot and physical therapy I feel 95% better. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time in pain.

Great service from Dr Secor and his staff. Dr Secor was patient with my knee problem and was able to explain it to me in a way I could understand. Dr Secor also got me into a physical therapy program right away.

Recommending Dr. Secor for any orthopedic problems
Dr. Decor is absolute the best! Wouldn’t think of going anywhere else! His staff are very efficient and do a wonderful job with preparing what need to be done prior to your seeing Dr. Secor. They are very thorough and very knowledgeable. After I explained my problem I was immediately taken to Ex rays and the issue was diagnosed immediately and Dr. Secor resolved the problem immediately.

Excellent doctor!
Dr. Secor has replaced both my knees and is currently addressing my shoulder issue. Very caring and his assistants are very knowledgable. Front office staff has experienced a few employee changes. Very busy Orthopaedic but worth it.

Knee Replacement Wizard
Dr. Secor performed two total knee replacement surgeries on me in the course of one year after my knees finally gave way to arthritis and degeneration. Both surgeries were very successful. Dr. Secor genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients and supports them through the process. I have the greatest respect for this talented surgeon and all the people who work for/with him.

Explains and Listens
After meeting with Dr. Secor’s PA and asking several questions, she spoke with Dr. Secor outside the room. Dr. Secor then came into the room, sat down and addressed my concerns. I look forward to future visits, feeling confident Dr. Secor is proceeding with my best interests in mind. He is personable and professional.

Dr. Secor and his staff work very well together. I appreciate that the doctor uses science (x-rays, MRI’s) to figure out pain. NP (excellent) along with other members of his team spend time asking questions, checking progress, and answering any questions. Dr. Secor makes a plan and all staff members make sure it is understood. Dr. Secor makes himself available to answer any questions. I Highly recommend Dr. Secor.
