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.

He was very professional, and caring, explained everything that was going on. I now know for sure what I have to do to get better. Definitely would recommend him to anyone who is having a problem. So glad I chose him for my doctor

My visit was unexpectedly VERY quick. Everyone was friendly and knew what they were doing. Everyone worked so well together and it is all run like a well oiled machine. I came out knowing what my prognosis was and where we were headed next. I was in and out in no time which to me was very impressive. Especially with getting to X-rays, seeing the doctor to go over results, getting a shot. Thank you for your efficient professional service. Would highly recommend.

Dr. Pokorney was very warm and friendly. Took the time to review x-rays and patiently explain options until we arrived at plan of action. Suggested a follow up in 3 months to check on status.

My experience
He is a doctor who takes the time with his patients. It meant everything everything to me when I stepped into a very busy ORA to have my time with him unhurried, relaxed and friendly while being professionally tuned in to my needs as a patient. Thankful I found him.

Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr Ryan Pokorney D. O. Is an excellent doctor and surgeon! I was in a lot of pain and he took X-rays and looked at my previous tests. He told me that I needed surgery to fix my knee and I agreed. He did an excellent job and made the scar on my knee nice and thin which really made me very happy! He is one of the best orthopedic surgeons I have dealt with! He’s very knowledgeable, compassionate, considerate and explained everything to me in terms that I could understand! His PA Daniel is very knowledgeable and compassionate and answered all my questions. Dr Pokorney’s nurse is very helpful and nice too. I would definitely recommend Dr Pokorney and his staff to anyone that needs orthopedic care!

Dr. Pokorney was fantastic from day #1. I'm very grateful for his treatment and care. My final appointment was last Thursday. I'm only sorry I waited so long to check my situation out. I recommend Dr. Pokorney for any joint issues. Sincerely, Margaret Baker

Knee pain
Telehealth
I came into to see Dr. Pokorney for my right knee pain. He had replaced my left knee seven years ago and I was very pleased with outcome of it, so i decided if I need another replacement he would be the one. He was very pleasant and took time to explain things and to listen to me also. Very important. He gave me choices , not just 'surgery'. I went with trying another option and I am very pleased. Thank Dr Pokorney. Also thank you to his nursing staff. Definitely would and will recommend you.

If you’re looking for someone who listens to you, answers your questions and makes you part of the decision team, you want this guy. I was pleasantly surprised that he did all three since most doctors I’ve seen didn’t.

Horrible, shouldn't be allowed to practice.
I requested to see this doctor as a follow up to pain I continue to have from a hip surgery that was done 18 months prior. This doctor reviewed my paperwork and said there was nothing he could do for me without even seeing me and allowing me to tell him where I'm still hurting. I'm not a doctor but possibly another MRI or some range of motion tests could've sent him in the right direction. Don't waste your time with this doctor or his group ORA they move people in like cattle and I've seen other doctors there that are just as bad, like ordering a back MRI when you told them it was your hip.
