I recently had a hand procedure for severe osteoarthritis. Dr Hardy told me what to expect ,what the recovery would be like and how long. Everything worked as he said and I am well on my way to recovery. He is very personable and thorough. I highly recommend him.

Review for Dr. Hardy

Use my chance to thank Dr. Momin who diagnosed my condition, prescribed the medicine that drastically changed my life for better. It was in Seton Hospital about two and a half years ago. I will forever remember Dr. Momin.

K. Lipkin Mar 23 2024

Review for Dr. Momin

Suffered a closed fracture of the lower tibia. Dr. Garcia almost knew what I was going to tell home about my symptoms. He explained my expected recovery quite well. He also set me up with a new boot, an “air cast”. It’s been amazingly effective. My pain is barely noticeable. Five more weeks to go...

Review for Dr. Garcia

I wish he didn’t leave Brownwood. One of only few doctors in my lifetime that made me feel heard and never rushes. Spoke in terms to which I can understand and 5 stars all the way!! Miss you Dr Sampath!!

Review for Dr. Sampath

Took the time to discuss all the directions to look into about my condition.
