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.

Two and half months of crying excruciating pain
Very nice doctor but I ended up having nerve damage after the surgery. l had the worst pain in my life. I told him 3 different times that I think I have nerve damage and every time he dismissed it. I got into a pain management center and they determine that I have nerve damage. They are going to implant a electro nerve stimulator to address the pain.

Not a good listener. left me with a dislocated knee after knee replacement and patella surgery. Blot clot and several infections. I lost my patella due to infections and almost lost leg. Will never walk unassisted again.

Misaligned knee implant confirmed by other surgeon
Told twice by Dr Snyder incision would be on side of knee since I was only having a partial knee implant - he instead cut down the middle of my knee and misaligned the implant confirmed by 2 other Conformis orthopedic surgeons. Horrible experience & many repercussions now with knee. Worse than before surgery.
