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.

My bilaterial knee surgery was the best thing I ever did. I am walking without pain for the first time in years. Dr. Thompson did an excellent job! I highly recommend him!

Dr. Thompson did a bilateral knee replacement on me 10 days ago. I am walking with a cane, off all meds, and pain free. My incisions look awesome! I wish I did this years ago.

Time has passed Dr. Thompson by. Four years ago I had a hip revision and woke up from surgery with a terrible pain in the back of my leg. When I told Dr Thompson he told me he didn't do anything wrong. So to make a long story short I went to the Crystal Clinic for a second opinion and found that he had put the cup in way out of position and the pain in the back of my leg was my hamstring pulling constantly where it attaches to the bone causing the pain. The solution was another surgery. All good
