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 Lonergan listened to my concerns, addressed my questions and guided me through my surgery experience with compassion and kindness.

Caring and listens to his patients
Dr Lonergan has been amazing. He listened to my daughter when other doctors did not. She had surgery and he and his staff kept us updated every step of the way, post op appointment he went over everything and explained everything thoroughly. She is on the mend! Would highly recommend Dr. Lonergan, he actually listens and cares.

Dr. Lonergan was very attentive and understood my health issue. In addition, within a day or so of receiving treatment, the pain subsided and I began to feel much better!!!

Dr. Lonergan is the BEST!
He did a reverse shoulder replacement on me, and the outcome is fabulous! He said I’m ahead of schedule in recovery. He’s so clear in explanation and so personable. I understood what the surgery entailed and how long my recovery would be.

Top Professional in his field
He is one of the most talented people god has created on this planet, listens and knows exactly the amount of procedures I’ve gone through and doesn’t judge, my complaint is I would like him to take care of my hip but the bosses won’t allow him to do that, there’s a trust you build and I trust him to take care of all my structural problems but I guess I have to trust him in directing myself within his control to guide me to the next phase of my problems, I won’t do anything until I talk with him, that’s trust
