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.

I was referred to Dr. Akre due to an injury sustained from a fall.
Allied Bone and Joint we're quick to respond and I was able to see the Dr. within hours of the injury. I was treated very efficiently and kindly from beginning to end.
Dr. Akre was honest and caring in explaining the seriousness of the injury and the treatment plan.

I saw Dr. Akre for a problem with a bicep tendon in my shoulder and felt like I received excellent attention and care - from the front desk to the doctor. In addition to checking my shoulder/range of motion/rotation/etc, he looked at x-rays and a previous MRI and gave me a range of options as to how to go forward. I was very comfortable with the decisions we made together. I would certainly recommend him.

Dr. Akre has taken care of my husband and I for several years now. He has prayed with us, encouraged us and is a kind, compassionate and considerate person. Before my husband even made it to his hospital room after surgery there were flowers there from Dr. Akre. I was blown away! He is in it for all of the right reasons and not just a paycheck.
