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.

Excellent Orthopaedic Surgeon
Dr Kuiper is an exceptional Orthopaedic Surgeon who performed a total shoulder replacement on my right shoulder in 2018 and will be performing a revision total shoulder replacement on my left shoulder soon. My right shoulder is doing very well and I have full strength and range of motion that I had lost before the surgery he performed. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns and work with me to ascertain the best course of action. I highly recommend Dr Kuiper as an Orthopaedic Surgeon.

AMAZING Doc!!!
Appreciate that he candidly told me he wanted to wait on my shoulder replacement. I had concerns about waiting that he put to rest. He gave me an injection that was virtually PAINLESS!!!

Dr. Kuiper is Top Notch!
Dr Kuiper is great. My shoulder surgery went very well and I'm healing quickly. He is very thorough with his explanations of the surgical procedure, post-op recovery and physical therapy. My husband and I both have had rotator cuff surgery done by Dr. Kuiper. We always recommend him to others. He is the best!!

Fixed My Broken Wing
Complete Rotator Cuff tear, damaged Labrum and partially torn Bicep Tendon. He’s a soft spoken, talented surgeon you can have confidence in. From the initial Exam to the X-Ray and MRI to the Surgery I was well taken care of. I’ve had great results and you will too.

Phew
I feel so much better about my rotator cuff tear after consulting Dr. Kuiper. He calmed my worries and is working with me to manage this condition until I need surgery. I’ve had an awful lot of procedures lately so I’m glad to be able to delay this one. I gov him 4 stars out of 5 only because I haven’t seen Corrie card his OR skills yet and that’s a good thing!

I was highly recommended to see Dr. Kuiper a few years ago and I found out why! He helped me through a previous injury in 2018, so I have returned to him for a new injury. He listened to me about the injury sustained and conducted an exam. With additional tests, I have complete confidence he will help me through to another great recovery! I highly recommend Dr. Kuiper for any of your orthopedic issues.
