He listens to what you have need of and gets to the root of the problem. I had a doctor before him for 4 years that just simply didn’t care about what my problem was and could have cared less about me being in pain. Dr Denehy got to the root of the problem and helped me and was very compassionate about my pain and was bothering me and did surgery on me and took care of me. I love him he is a wonderful man and doctor I would recommend him to anyone.

He operated on my husbands hand and was so great about communicating and making sure we felt comfortable. We really enjoyed working with him and would recommend him.

Dr. Hunt is amazing. After living in pain from previous failed back surgeries he was able to take away the majority of my pain. He always had my best interest in mind when deciding on best route of treatment

Dr. Lockstadt was very good to me before my surgery. After it was over he spoke with my family and was thrilled with my prognosis. I would recommend him highly for any back issues.

Dorothy Painter

He was very nice and professional. Made me feel very comfortable for my visit. I had a broken collarbone from an accident and he said it was a good break as it should heal fast. I see him again on Dec 2nd for a checkup.

Dr. Ellingsen is so knowledgeable, but he handles patients with kindness and humor.

From the outset, I received excellent care. But more importantly, he always took time to listen, and to understand, and then respond honestly and with straight talk.

But more importantly, he always took time to listen, and to understand, and then respond honestly and with straight talk. If you want something sugarcoated, look elsewhere. I always felt like he was my 'coach' as much as my physician. I just got through the worst six months of my life due in large part to Dr Harrod.

After I filled out some information, it was a couple of moments and I was told that he was ready to see me. I had to take an elevator to one floor up. As the doors opened, there stood a nurse to take me to a room. Dr. Donegan came in within a few mins. He was very nice, listened to me and looked me in the eye while I talked also, when he spoke. Dr. Donegan is wonderful along with his staff. Dr. Donegan is a FIVE Star!!

Finally a doctor who takes his time to listen and discuss your condition in understandable terminology.
