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.

Not one but every single time I go I have this long waiting period to not only get in but waiting in the exam room as well. This day I had a 20 minute wait to get in then set for over 35 minutes more before having the sense to leave as bad as I was hurting. Very disappointing and upsetting.

Dr. Below walks on water in my opinion. I have had two major surgeries performed by Dr. Below, total ankle reconstruction with tendon reassignment and rotator cuff surgery which he reinforced with 4 dissolvable bone anchors. My work is very physically demanding and each time I was able to return to work stronger and without pain after recovery. Dr. Below is a very skilled surgeon and a very compassionate man who explains every step of your treatment in great detail. You can't ask for more.
