Review for Dr. Perlewitz

From the moment I arrived I knew I made the perfect choice for my shoulder surgery. Dr. Pennington and his team took the time I needed to help me understand my injuries and what would be done to correct them!

Everyone in the office was very nice and spent time listening to my information. We put together a plan of treatment, and I was so happy to have such excellent care.

Review for Dr. Evanich

I recently had my hip replaced by Dr. Parisi and I am so grateful! I spent the last year in extreme pain and now after my surgery I have no pain! I am so thankful to have my mobility back! I also was extremely pleased with the OrthoLazer treatments which really sped up the healing process. Excellent...
