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.

Terrible Visit
I would never recommend this physician to anyone. He is not into conservative treatments at all. He just wants the money from surgery!!!

Dr Muirhead is an outstanding surgeon. It was comforting for me to know that he has an excellent reputation within the medical community. I have a relative who is an orthopedic surgeon in another state who highly recommended Dr Muirhead! I broke my wrist and had to have surgery for a plate and screws. He was caring and informative with all questions and concerns.

Extremely helpful. He explained the situation with my hand and shared the basis for his diagnosis with me after taking me through the X rays. He did an excellent job minimizing the pain of the injection in my hand. His followup suggestions were clear and his suggested exercises helped clarify what I can do to help myself with this on-going condition. I have urged my wife to see him with her own hand problem.

June 10, 2019.::: I accidentally CUT My Left Hand in TWO Places on Saturday, May 25, 2019; and after Cleaning up the Excessive Bleeding (Coumadin User); and Bandaging it, Thought not much more of the Injury, except to wash and Re~Bandage the wounds. By Tuesday following Memorial Day; "RED STREAKS" were up my Left Arm from the Injured Hand; along with "Swelling of the Hand and Arm." {Cellulitis.) My Husband took Me to the "Roper, North E.R." in Mount Pleasant. Whereupon the ER Physician on Duty called immediately for a "Hand Surgeon;" and Dr. Muirhead came almost at once, and took me to Surgery quickly. I stayed in the Hospital a Week, receiving BOTH Oral and IV Antibiotic Follow~up Treatment. Dr. Muirhead came by to check on my Progress Each Day. I was discharged from the Hospital on Monday, June 3, Late in the Day; and have been continuing Recovery at Home Uneventfully. Went to Dr. Muirhead's Office on June 7, for (3) Sutures Removal. Follow~Up Appt. for June 25.

I was taken to exam room within 15 min of appointment time. There was reasonable wait before Dr. Muirhead was available. The doctor came in , I told him my complaints. I required injections. He returned to take care of. I have always been very pleased with his care and the efficiency of the entire staff at his office.

Dr. William Muirhead has done 2 wrist surgeries. One was for 2 fractures in the radious after a very bad fall. This difficult surgury went so well, his work is flawless, he is a brilliant surgeon. He has extremely high standards, he explains everything while discussing your x-ray so you are informed. He cares. This is why I chose Dr. Muirhead for my shortening of the ulna that began hurting 10 yr's, I would not have gone anywhere else. Super staff, his assisant Casey is over and beyond.

Dr. Muirhead might be a good surgeon if you clearly need surgery. But for something that requires some clever medical analysis, don't count on a solution.
