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 experience was phenomenal. I love this guy!

Took a shattered femur and did an amazing repair.
This was an emergency on a Sunday night a week before Christmas. He came in especially to perform complex surgery. A true, caring professional. I was in great hands.

Two carpal tunnel release surgeries
I was recommended to go to Dr. Hoxie from my aunt who also had carpal tunnel release surgeries done by him. I wouldn't ever want to go to any other hand doctor! I have more hand and wrist issues (unrelated to the previous surgeries) and I'll be going back to see him again soon. I see why they call him the 'hand man'. He's the best!

I was referred to him for a worker's comp injury. Cortisone shots were not working and surgery was recommended. Understandably, he did not want to perform surgery unless it was absolutely needed. He performed many tests and promised to call me the following week with the results. No call. After two weeks, he finally called me back after I called and left two messages. We came up with a plan for going forward which included someone from his office contacting me the following day and setting up an appointment for the second week in August and getting opinions from other doctors. I have not heard from his office and when I tried to call and set up an appointment, I was told that there are no notes indicating out discussion. I am still waiting for him to contact me regarding what he heard from other doctors. I have called Essentia patient services regarding this complaint and was told his department head would be getting back with me. To date, nothing! Very poor follow up!

Dr. Hoxie is “adequate” but due to incomplete charting notes I was unable to address a follow up issue with his nurse when he was on vacation. I was also told that there was no physician covering for him. This is not an acceptable standard of care.

I broke my wrist, which required him to do a bone graph from my hip and make a wedge and fix a broken scaphoid bone. He did such a great job, and made sure my tattoos lined back up perfectly. Such a great person.

I am so grateful for Dr. Hoxie. He was amazing with us and our emergency. My son sliced 2 fingers open and cut his tendons and nerves. Dr. Hoxie was so helpful and reassuring with us and had an excellent manner with my 4 year old. It was so wonderful to have a gentleman in our distress. I thank God that he was available in the middle of the night! Kendal - Iowa

He changed my life. I had seen 3 other surgeons before him and they all told me there was nothing they could do. I could barely use my hand. I went to him as my last hope and he gave me my life back! I tell everyone about him and wouldn't go to see anyone else for an arm issue.
