Review for Jeffrey McElwain

My reverse shoulder replacement was more than I hoped for, after 5 months back doing almost everything just working on strengthening . His staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Review for Dr. Jones

I had two total knee replacements over 20 years ago and one had worked loose and needed to be replaced. Dr. Jones projected total confidence in his ability to do the surgery and patiently explained the risks involved. He then promptly got me scheduled. This was by far the best knee replacement...

Review for Dr. Jones

Very brief, minimal review, no followup, limited staff almost never get a person on the phone, no Telehealth option.

Review for Dr. Quayle

I highly recommend Dr Jones and his team. They did my hip replacement in November. I walked out of the hospital 3 hours later with the help of a walker. After a short physical therapy, 5 visits, I have recovered completely.
