Absolutely the worst and rudest Dr. I have ever had. Did a hip replacement on me (he was the Dr on call at the hospital)and I was in pain for 6 months. He kept telling me that was just part of it. Finally went to my own Dr. and had to have it redone since Dr Goris messed it up. I wouldn’t even give him a 1star if there was a 0

I have been having foot pain for months now and finally decided to see someone else. Dr. Goris was able to give me a steroid shot that had already made a difference. I recommend him.

Friendly smiles and pleasant nurses. Doctor assistant was efficient. Doctor was very thorough and assessed the problem quickly. Manor was very couteous and gentle. Would recomend him to friends over other orthopedists. Boot was fit to my leg properly whereas that placed on at hospital was not.

If I could give 0 I would! I have went to him for several yrs. and knew he did not have the best bedside manner but thought OK I can deal with that! I went to him for some pain in my foot. I rarely go to the dr. and this was a 10 pain. Dr. Gorris walked in the room and never really looked me in the eye and kept looking@ my foot and telling me that on Xray it was arthritis of sm bones. Not much to be done!!! I asked for a steroid shot and he really didn't want to do it but he did! Still not looking @ me he gave me a shot in the top of my foot with no numbing agent or freezing it! He just stuck the needle in and preceded to push the medication in @ a rapid rate! I thought my middle Toe would explode! Dr never asked if I was in pain or anything! My husband and I both felt he was angry and was doing this on purpose!! My husband and I agree we will not be returning!

Dr Goris was to the point and answered all my questions. A diagnosis was given and the option was mine for conservative versus surgical treatment. I opted for conservative since no further harm would be done. Didn't really want surgery but ended up having to proceed due to symptoms. Went through surgery, recovery was exactly how it was explained and I am back to normal. Dr Goris is awesome and the comments I've read are ridiculous!
