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.

My profession as a Police Officer demands that I be able to protect and serve. Dr. King has been my primary surgeon numerous times for several different surgeries and other serious medical issues. I have had an ACL repair which Dr. King performed and I was back to full duty within 4 months. I have had my left knee scoped and a total knee replacement 1 year ago and have had nothing but positive results. Dr. King is a true professional who cares for his patients and their quality of life.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. King?
He's arrogant, he won't listen/respond to your questions. You're supposed to blindly accept what he says, do as your told and keep your mouth shut. He ruined my husband's knee, missed something very major during first surgery that resulted in 2 more surgeries. My husband got an infection, spiked a temp of almost 103 and I had to insist they hospitalize him. Dr. King burst into his room the following morning and began to curse at ME then my husband. Wouldn't take my dog to him!!
