Care Philosophy
Personally, I work to develop a partnership with my patients. On my part, this begins with listening. One of the most important things I need to know is how the unique problem affects the patient's life. We then develop a dialogue, through which the patients understand the diagnosis, their treatment options, and the recovery process. Patients help to guide their treatment decisions.
I believe that knowledgeable patients make the best choices about their own treatment. That's why I explain every step of the diagnostic process. Next, I want my patients to understand how their condition developed and how different treatments can improve the problem. When we consider treatment alternatives, I present a realistic outlook on the results we can expect to achieve. I'll also be honest about any risks that might be involved. If a non-surgical option is available, I'll explain that choice as well.

-Tanya S in Asheville | Jun 02, 2017
Dr. Massey was good at explaining what needed to be done with my ankle surgery in the office and again the day of my surgery. I had confidence in his ability and technique to perform the tendon repair I needed. I had no complications and feel that was due to his excellent care and my following his post operative instructions.

Dr. Massey is wonderful. He listens and tells you exactly what is going on and why. I was given my options and told what to expect throughout recovery. I had spent three years avoiding seeing a surgeon tolerating the pain and shots because I was told at Blue Ridge Bone & Joint extensive foot realignment was my only option. I am so thankful I found Dr. Massey!!!!!! I am am free and was back in my iwn shoes within a month.

-Brent in Arden, NC | Feb 25, 2017
Made an appointment to see Dr. Massey about my knee, torn meniscus. After examining me he said that surgery was an option but wanted to wait. Gave me exercises to do. Had two follow-up visits. Told me that surgery still wasn't needed. I appreciated his honesty and integrity.

I am a 67 year old female with arthritis in my right knee. It's bone on bone and can be painful at times. I received a series of three injections of Orthobisc. My knee is better but will probably have to reschedule in a few months. Dr. Massey was very personable and I have enjoyed meeting he and his staff. I will definitely schedule again when I'm ready. My only problem is that it's an hour and a half drive. But, he's worth it!

-Robin B in Arden, NC | Feb 15, 2017
I want to recommend Dr. Massey to everyone. Because of his surgical skills I was walking normally within 3 months of his putting a plate and 8 screws in my fibula after a displaced fracture. He and his staff we very helpful during this stressful period of my life. Please consider using him for any lower leg needs.

Dr Massey is the only doctor in Asheville doing the PARS technique for achilles rupture. He did a great job explaining the process and stayed on top of my recovery. I am 3 months out from surgery and starting back to some athletic activities. I was originally scheduled for the open procedure but luckily I found Dr Massey and have had great results. Could not image doing open surgery worrying about infection and a big scar. Didn't have these worries and I only have a 3 cm scar. Go to Massey

My friend is a nurse and told me he's the best. He answered all my questions and it didn't take long to get in to see him. Dr. Massey told me all the options for treating my ankle injury. He did an MRI to confirm my problem and after surgery I'm doing so much better!
