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.

Dr. Loughran operated on my knee and I feel better than ever. It is as if I am in my 20's again! I had a phenomonal experience from start to finish. I can't recommend him highly enough.

He performed a hip scope on me four years ago to fix my torn labrum.He did not fix me at all.He removed the piece of my torn labrum and then burred/removed way too much of my femoral head.My labrum retore 2 months after surgery.I finally had surgery again &my femoral head looks like a 83 year old woman's.My new surgeon said it looked this way bc Dr. L didn't take care in placing the tools through the trocar so each time he hit it leaving osteoarthritis all over.Dont let him do this to you.

If you have a genetic condition Ehlers Danlos Syndrome I can not recommend him. I do not feel like he has a solid understanding of the disease process with regards to pain management. He does not seem to understand that longterm patients with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome need pain management. I personally think that all of the doctors in the orthopaedic speciality at UVA are part of the good old boys network.

His 25+ years of experience and his offense not to perform surgery make him one of the if not the best orthopedic in Richmond. Great doctor. Has helped me with 10+ injuries in 20+ years and only one surgery.
