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.

What a nice guy! Warm, caring, professional. Outstanding doctor.

I have osteoarthritis in both knees which had caused me quite a bit of discomfort in the past few months. My daughter recommended Dr. MacArthur and I was very pleased at the level of care and attention I rendered from both Dr. MacArthur and his PA, Johnny I had to receive 3 sets of knee injections and I am greatly improved! We had a fire drill in my office building this week and I was able to take the stairs from the 6th floor without any problems! Thanks Dr. MacArthur & Staff!

He is possibly the most caring doctor I have ever met. I could tell that he really cared about me and my injury. He even called me personally after the visit to check in and see how I was doing. I have seen a number of orthos in the past and this is not routine practice...

I came to see Dr. MacArthur about my shoulder pain after seeing two other orthopedists. He was the only one who was able to explain my problem in a way that I could understand. He ordered an MRI and it was done within 48 hours. He then went on to describe the various treatment options. We ended up trying a cortisone shot and physical therapy. Now it's 6 weeks later and my shoulder feels great! He's a good guy, very down to earth. Highly recommend.

Excellent, caring doctor. He took the time to listen to my son's problem and even called us to see how he was doing several weeks later! I can't say enough good things about Dr. MacArthur

I saw Dr. Macarthur for a work related injury and each time his demeanor was dismissive. His attitude was that it was a minor injury and there was nothing that could be done for the pain, swelling and lack of motion after three months. He told me we could get an MRI but to not be surprised if it was a grade 1 sprain. Come to find out I had a grade two sprain, impingement, and a torn tendon. He doesn't have the expertise to read an MRI for himself; & changed his tone when a case manager came
