What our Patients Are Saying
-
Easy fill out forms online. Quick simple check in upon arrival. Assistances along with Dr. Doran were awesome as they were very thorough with my diagnosis and treatment suggestion. They answered all my questions and I left their office in total satisfaction!
John W.
Dr. Doran is an amazing physician, who clearly cares about his patients. His knowledge and experience is reassuring. His terrific bedside manner kept me at ease during a difficult time. His honesty is refreshing. He provided me with valuable information that allowed me to make an educated decision about how to proceed with my healthcare. I would, without hesitation, recommend him. I’m grateful for the care he provided.
Sandra M.
Jess has such a passion to help her patients that is hard to find in healthcare. I came to the realization today that I had given up. She alone reignited my passion to fight, reiterating what it is we’re fighting for and why. The fight is about me, my health and my quality of life, proving that I’m not alone in this fight. Thank you Jess, for being in this fight with me and for me till the end!

From the very start making an appointment to completing the appointment with Dr. Gaffney it was the best experience! Everyone was so kind, listened to the problem and found resolution! Highly recommend!!
Linda Z.
Best experience I've had in a long time concerning my spine issues I was born with. All of their staff from the front desk, radiology, nurse, PA, and the neurologist were very friendly, informative, and made sure all my questions were answered. I would recommend going if you have any issues with your back/spine.
Myah L.
Dr McCarthy is amazing. He did my rotator cuff surgery 9 years ago and my bilateral carpal tunnel surgery before that. He takes his time to explain everything and asks questions about you. I was so happy that he is still practicing when I made my appointment for a ganglion cyst causing pain on my hand today, which he aspirated. Highly recommend!

Dr. Phillips is very patient while addressing your concerns. He talks to you, not at you. Nice staff. Surgery in the future so no comments on that yet.

Super friendly and just a fun atmosphere all around. Dr McCarthy has been one of my favorites for years. Remembered my name and what I do from the last time I saw him 7 years ago. He performed a hand and shoulder surgery on my back in 2011 that I haven't had issues with since. Super staff and awesome Dr.

This office is always runs smoothly-quick check in, appointments start on time as scheduled, no long waits for doctor to enter exam room, etc. Every single interaction with doctors, support staff, and technicians that I have experienced has been professional and warm. Highly recommend. Dr. Grier was compassionate, highly informative and went the extra mile in assessing my orthopedic issues.

I was having mobility issues this day but they had wheelchairs available for my use. The check in staff was fabulous and made me feel welcome. Doctor wanted a new X-ray of my leg and that was done quickly and with care for my comfort. Dr Mantone spent time with me and showed concern about my current issues. Wonderful experience.

Jessica G.
The Dr's. have always shared my xrays with me and showed me exactly what they are talking about. They always have given me the least invasive option to the to the that may involve surgery. Dr's. run through all pros and cons and make sure I understand this my decision to make. I have recommended the clinic to several others.
Mary N.
Those helping me were very professional. Dr O'Malley was great, personable and kind. I trust him and his recommendations. This was my second visit. The first visit was the same except for the receptionist in the second window. I felt ignored while standing waiting for her to acknowledge me. And she was rude when she finally looked at me. So my first impression wasn't good but the rest of the visit went well.

I have rarely experienced the smooth and friendly service that I get at this medical office. Such a perfect balance between professionalism and personability! They are efficient, but I don’t feel like I’m a cog in a wheel. The doctor always has time to answer my questions. All around, a very comfortable, satisfying experience as a patient.
