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. Phelps is very knowledgeable about his craft. He tells you the truth, not what you want to hear. He's a God-fearing Christian with a heart of gold. He treats you like family and he's very professional. I've been coming here since July of 2011 and his staff has always been and continues to be amazing and awesome even with several leaving to become nurses and further their education in the medical field. That says a lot about his character. I look forward to my visits to the office. EXCELLENCE

I've been going for almost 20 years. Good bedside manner. Received injection and almost 100% improvement the next day. Still 100% improvement. Great experience.

I am very impressed with Dr. Robert Phelps. He did for me what my PCP nor a wound care center could do. I believe he saved my leg from amputation! He and his staff are very professional and efficient. Dr. Phelps takes time to explain what is causing a problem and a remedy to fix it. I highly recommend Dr. Robert Phelps!

Then I had an appointment to have surgery on my toe and they cancelled it twice due to my insurance. My insurance called them and they said that they would not accept United Healthcare Insurance cause they said they would not get paid. Well I called other doctors in his same speciality and they was surprised at what he said about the insurance company.

I lost complete faith in this office. After 6 months of treatments only to find out that what was done only accelerated my condition. I eventually went to see a real ortho surgeon who had to do a complete reconstruction. BTW never let someone inject a tendon it really weakens them tremendously.
