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.

How I see Dr Degenhardt
Have been going to Dr. Degenhardt for years with knee problems. Always informative and explains in detail any question asked. Has a very easy going approach with patients and takes the time to explain all diagnois and treatments that are available.

My visit with Dr. Degenhardt was horrible he spent 6 minutes and during that time he poked my shoulder 3 times with his finger told me it was calcium buildup & do I want a cortisone shot & if not today then just let him know when I'm ready then he laughted and walked out the door this was the worst doctor I've ever seen he's rude, in a hurry & informed me nothing of my condition, he comes to our clinic in Gualala May be he thinks he's on vacation & can't be bothered.

I did not have a good experience with Dr. Degenhardt. The office was over busy, staff were distracted and uncaring and the Dr. had too little time to give a full exam. As a result gave an incomplete and wrong diagnosis.
