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.

Very attentive
Dr. Cahoon listens to you when you express your health need(s). I was very impressed with how promptly my issue was addressed.

Outstanding Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Cahoon is pleasant and kind. At appointments, he is well-prepared and on time. A few months ago, Dr. Cahoon performed rotator cuff surgery on my dominant arm. It had become increasingly painful and disrupted my daily activities. The surgery went very well; it was calm and well-organized. The other surgical staff members were also skilled and kind. I am very happy Dr. Cahoon was my surgeon. The functionality of my arm has returned to a normal level. I can do everything I need to do. My arm continues to strengthen. I am very appreciative of Dr. Cahoon’s expert care and the efforts of the Resurgens surgical group. Thank you all.

He is awesome!
Dr. Cahoon is a great doctor. After 7 years of not being able to really do anything due to a TKR revision on my left knee, he found the problem was my hip and not my knee. He replaced my hip and now I have my life back. I will be forever grateful to that man! Now he handles all my orthopedic needs and I wouldn’t even think of seeing another ortho.

Dr. Cahoon is the best. He has treated me for knee and shoulder issues for 15+ years. He is always kind and caring. He listens, truly listens to what you have to say. His chosen treatments for me have never failed. I have taken my son with disabilities to him and I have other family members that see him as well. You can trust Dr. Cahoons care. Again, he is the best.
