"Dr. Emond and his staff are absolutely amazing! Dr. Emond was very thorough and clear when explaining the diagnosis of my knee pain. The P.A. Chris Shaver also went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of very promptly and thoroughly! This orthopedic team is the best in the business!"

"Dr. Lavigne didn’t listen when I explained my injury. He made a diagnosis and gave me a cortisone shot nowhere near the injury. I questioned him and he told me he was 100% sure he was correct. I called back crying after a few days to make another appointment because the pain was worse, but I was simply told to rest for 3 weeks. He said he couldn’t do anything more for me. As the days went by the pain worsened and I couldn’t sit or walk upright. I had to go to another doctor to get the correct diagnosis and treatment. My nerve was trapped and because treatment was delayed I suffered nerve damage, foot drop and numbness that lasted months. I had to take off weeks of work and walked with a limp for over 6 months. I will never forget the unnecessary pain I had to endure and how insignificant he made me feel."

"The doctor took the time to listen to me and he also took the time to explain what he found and my options to follow. He didn’t rush me in and out and I felt good when I left knowing I understood."

"Dr. Jewell is a great listener. That’s one reason why he’s a great doctor. He listens to what you have to say and examines the problem. Then he clearly explains his opinions and his plans for treatment. I always feel like I’m in good hands with him."

"Dr Jewel really listened to my concerns without interrupting me. We are going for a conservative treatment which I appreciate. He was sympathetic and took his time with me."
