Dr Jones had practical suggestions for recovery. He was reassuring by nature, and has a sense of humor.

Review for Dr. Jones

Dr. Laningham is no frills, but very efficient, helpful, listens well and believes what you say. She has given me good advice and answered my questions.

Review for Dr. Laningham

Took the time to explain everything to me. My hip replacement went very well. Physical therapy was very good. All staff very knowledgeable and helpful.

Richard Smith Apr 09 2024

Review for Dr. Jones

My experience with Dr. Phipps and Animas Orthopedic has been a nightmare. From the very start when he told me I needed a hip replacement on a joint that had never hurt me, to the the three years of chronic and debilitating pain the surgery has caused, it has easily been the worst medical experience...
