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.

Disappointed
I had heard good things from his co-workers abt him. I have struggled with knee pain for 2 decades. Over the yrs, my knees have acquired more issues. OA, torn meniscus, nearly a full ACL tear & bursitis. Unfortunately, I have become morbidly obese bc of my knee pain (both knees) & 28 yrs of chronic back pain & nerve damage from an injury. I have the desire to be mobile, however, the severe pain keeps me from any activity. Despite the fact that I have torn menisci in both knees & the virtually completely torn ACL in 1 knee, he won't help me at all. The worse meniscus problem & ACL tear are in the same knee. He refuses to go in & either snip off or repair the torn meniscus that keeps catching & causing me a great deal of pain. He also doesn't find it necessary to repair the ACL bc of my age (57). Even though it causes me instability when walking. It's a shame that he doesn't use his 'talents' to treat everyone equally. I won't be losing wgt without the use of my knees. #PoorQualityOfLife
