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.

Right and Left perfect hip replacements
Dr Copp and his team provided excellent care and followup for my right hip Arthroplasty in 2022 and my left hip Arthroplasty. I am truly grateful that I was referred to Dr Copp by a friend from church. Two perfect procedures with speedy recovery returning my full range of motion and elimination of pain.

Total knee replacements
Dr. Copp is a wonderful doctor. He replaced both my knees over the last year and a half. He listened to my issues, tried injections and after 6-7 years of following my knee deterioration, the decision was made to operate. My recovery went very well and my check ups have all been positive. I have total confidence in Dr. Copp and am so thankful to him and his staff. This procedure has changed my life. Thanks once again to Dr Copp and his staff.

Best Surgeon
I've had two surgeries from Dr Copp, with another on the horizon. He has always been willing to give me so much time in consultations, and always very kind and reassuring. But most importantly, he is an excellent surgeon. I found him through physical therapists, who told me that they see his patients after surgery and they always had the best recovery. That was what made me decide to have him do my first surgery, and I've sent a few friends to him on my recommendation.
