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.

At 1st I wasn't real happy with him. But as it turns out, he is a most amazingly compassionate, kind Dr. He is thorough, good at explaining and very kind. Very happy with his care of my mother.

He worked me into his schedule due to a sudden, painful and potentially dangerous problem. He made sure my MRI was quickly approved, scheduled and interpreted. I was seen by a surgeon the next day and surgery quickly scheduled.

Dr. Bourne did a thorough PE of my knee and reviewed my MRI with me. He told me the treatment I would need is surgical scope to repair medial meniscus; however, he does not do this procedure, so I need to return to see another doctor who does said procedure. I do wish there was some way I could have known this, and I would have chosen a doctor who does knee scopes. Hopefully by doing a review, another person with torn tendon on MRI will have the knowledge that Dr. Bourne does not do knee scopes for tendon repair.

I appreciate having Dr. Bourne as my doctor because he covers more than just one orthopedic area of concern that I might have, He is so good at diagnosing the problem. If it is something he can't take care of he makes sure you get to see the appropriate doctor. He always listens to my concerns and treats me with respect.

I give Dr. Bourne and his staff the highest of recommendations. His office is easy to reach and his staff is very kind and professional. Dr. Bourne listens carefully and shows great interest in his patients. He got me in the same day I called due to the severity of my injury. He correctly diagnosed the injury and put together a comprehensive plan that involved surgery. He personally pulled some strings to get me a same day appointment with a surgeon and made sure I was in great hands. Thank you!

I went in to see Dr. Bourne for a chronic pain in my hip. After doing a few motion tests, he let me know he thought I had a labral tear in my hip. Sure enough, the results came back and it was just that. He was very friendly and helpful in answering questions and I'd highly recommend him!

I saw Dr Bourne for preliminary treatment of what ended up being a tornado ACL. He was very compassionate, his office had appointments available within two days, and he got me right in for an MRI. He isn't a surgeon, but he referred me right away other a surgeon after the testing. Great service and a wonderful staff.

I have seen Dr. Bourne for hip, both shoulders, and both knees. He is always very professional, thorough, kind, and compassionate. He works hard to diagnose the problem and recommend treatment. He explains things in a way that is easily understood, and never seems rushed. His staff is very friendly and accommodating. Waiting room time is usually short. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Bourne to family and friends.

Listens intently to your explanations of your symptoms. Makes suggestions of possible remedies, but doesn’t try to force anything. Definitely is not a pill pusher. One of the most down to earth doctors I have ever had. Takes the time to listen to you. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone!

I came into Dr Bourne's clinic with knee problems. He diagnosed those knee problems correctly and prescribed physical therapy that was effective. Dr Bourne's non invasive approach to my knee problems was the most efficient and least invasive approach possible. I would recommend Dr Bourne to anyone else with any orthopedic concerns.

Dr. Robert Bourne is an excellent doctor. My wife saw him for knee problems. I am now seeing him for a knee problem and my wife is seeing him again, but for a new back problem. Dr. Bourne listens to your concerns, answers your questions, and does a great job of explaining available treatment alternatives. He spends the time with you that you need and he does not keep you waiting long when you go to see him. His office staff are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr Bourne.
