Dr Hole sold himself out to the insurance companies and his number one job is to send you back to work so the insurance companies don’t have to pay for your disability any longer with total disregard to your health or safety! Good luck!

I would not recommend this Dr. to anyone. He is nasty, abrupt, condescending does not read pre exam notes.

Dr Hole is the best orthopedic surgeon I have had the privilege of knowing. He put my horrible injured leg back to normal and I am indebted to this miracle worker.

Dr. Hole cared for me 2 times - in 2009 I fractured my pelvis and sacrum and in 2014 I fractured may left wrist. Both times the outcome was wonderful and his bedside manner goes above and beyond expectations.

I went to Dr. Hole numerous occasions, to be exact it was 5 times. Was experiencing extreme pain in knee. He looked at knee, turned it to left, to right (while I'm in extreme pain). I told Doctor how much it hurt, even while sleeping. He wasted time by telling me to wait 3 weeks and come back. I did this - pain still there. Had me come back again only to send me for x-rays (could have done this over phone). After x-rays he never followed up with me...second time he did this. Gave doctor benefit of the doubt, called to find out results. Doctor said nothing significant to talk about, but I could come in to discuss further. Why would I want to spend another $50 and not get results. Went to another doctor, who immediately gave me a cortisone shot and set me up to have an MRI. Now Dr. Hole could have/should have done the same instead of milking me out of money and do nothing for my pain of two months. I'm done with this guy. All he wants to do is chit-chat for 7 minutes and… collect payment. This is not a good doctor in my eyes. Oh, sure he had kind eyes, gentle disposition, and seems to listen but truly doesn't hear what you are saying. Do yourself a favor and find another doctor.
