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.

5 Star all the way!
He is a great physician! Very knowledgeable! Always friendly! Answers questions thoroughly! Very caring! I feel as though I can’t say “Thank you” enough when I leave my appointment!

He was very thorough and explained my condition very well. I was very well pleased with his attentiveness to my problem. I asked questions and he explained in layman's terms. I would highly recommend him.

Very friendly and professional
John has seen my husband and I both several times and he has always been very informative about what is our treatment. When he came into the exam room he even said that he knew he'd seen us before. It's nice to know they remember you and your not just a number. I would recommend him to anyone.

Always helpful and professional
John is always helpful and professional. I've had to have several shoulder surgeries (l always choose University Orthopedics.), so I've seen John multiple times for office visits and he has assisted at my surgeries. I appreciate him very much.

Very happy with my visit !
First time there and everyone was very helpful. The receptionist even got information from Geisinger for me since I misplaced my Medicare card. X-ray technician was awesome. John took the time to explain my condition. Treatment was successful in relieving my pain. Also very convenient to go to Reedsville rather than State College. Very pleased!
