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.

One of the best!
Dr. Hale is great. He is not rushed, gives you options and is available for any issues. Highly recommend him.

Hip replacement
I cannot say enough about Dr. Hale and his skillful, resourceful mindset. He is a knowledgeable surgeon and a true professional that takes the time to really listen to his patients; that is the upmost importance to me. During the weeks of recovery, Dr. Hale and his team were available via phone conversations, daily text messages of encouragement and relevant videos that demonstrated the rehab exercises for me to follow. My total hip replacement was a total success, thanks to Dr. Hale. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hale to my friends and family.

Great Team!
Dr. Hale, I saw him maybe a total of 3 times lol, usually saw Mr. Hinton and Ms. Sarah and they are the BEST. Never waited long to see Mr. Hinton, my wait came with the supplies office (where you get your braces, crutches,... that kind of item). For me, Dr. Hale gave me a blessing (new knee) and I am walking without pain now. I encourage anyone having trouble to see Dr. Hale and his team, you will be treated with respect, professionalism, and kindness. Will be going back for the other knee when it's ready.

Prior to my visit, I called in for an appointment. He said he would do a work comp case. After arriving they did x rays then I sat in a exam room waiting for Dr. Hale to come in. Finally a spokesperson walked in and told me he didn't do work comp cases after initially saying he would .He didn't have the compassion to help me with my injury. This is an unacceptable practice. Is it about money ? The company I work for is the largest tank carrier in the nation with 9000 drivers. This was a slap in the face Dr. Hale .I would never recommend him to anyone. Everything I have said is true and acurate.

Dr Hale is a very competent and skilled surgeon. His after surgery care is excellent. His staff are most helpful and friendly. It took about 20 sutures to close my incision and 2 years later the scar is barely visible. He is that good.
