I have 4 Drs. Mark Tenholder. Dr White. dr
Hawkins. Dr David Dean.
The first Dr replaced a hip
And two knees every 3 months. I'm glad I'm not a centerpid. haha. Dr white assisted me with a foot injury. Dr Hawkins, assisted me with my right arm dislocation. And Dr Dean. Shot out best shoulder specialist. God put me there. Dr Hawkins said to me he can't do this shoulder is way above him. But we have Dr. Dean he has fellowships in shoulder repairs. Well saw him. He. Took my MRI in his computer program, he measured the injury and his computer said 94% recovery. So I said yes. Let's do this. 9/11 was my date. I did all he said to do. I Ben shower with a sling so nothing would happen to my repair. He took my sling. And I started to move my arm. Hung my towel reach for a glass. Wash a dish. Did pt but she hurt me. So I just dis cold water pool. 61 degrees. And submerged all the way down. Felt great and the heat of my shoulder intervention was diminishing.
So I did this cure before ice cold water swimming. Is all it took. I'm back to work. I have to be careful. And no falling! Dr said it was good to see such recovery. He had a smile on. Glad there are great
Doctors at Orthopedic associates.

Checked in with Dr. Thackeray about my trigger finger. He covered my options thoroughly and gave me his recommendation. I opted for surgery and it went precisely as he explained. His staff were professional, treating me with great care. I was especially impressed with the anesthesiologists as that was my greatest concern. But, I was only out long enough for this quick surgery. Recovery went extremely well, no pain to speak of, no bruising and good as new in two weeks time. I would highly recommend Dr. Thackeray and his team.

Signed in & was greeted warmly. Then within a short time I was sent back to the “green” waiting room. I was seen within just a few minutes! I didn’t ask the lady’s name & if she offered it, I must have forgotten it, but she was very nice while asking me if I had anything in particular I wanted to ask Dr. Cook about and in addition, she asked me some routine questions about my pain. Dr. Cook was very cordial and greeted me in a manner that was both professional, but also caring. After we discussed options, he listened to what I had to say and each time he would ask what else he could do for me. He gave me some additional options and explained everything followed by asking if I had any questions. I really felt like he was listening to me & we came up with the next step for my treatment together. He does seem to care about his patients and that means so much to me! He took the time that I needed and I felt hopeful for the next step in trying to alleviate the pain in my back, legs, & feet without trying to go straight to surgery, which both agreed was not an option right now! Thanks for another good experience with Orthopaedic Associates. I’ve seen several of your other doctors here over the last 20 years!

Amazing service! I have seen a few orthopedics here and they have all been great. My husband and I have both had shoulder surgeries and have no complaints about our care. I most recently came because of my son’s injury to his collarbone. Dr. Watt was very attentive and detailed. We left feeling knowledgeable about the severity of his injury and the healing process that he would go through. I am thankful for Orthopedics Associates.

Dr. Fusco did surgery on my toe last year to remove bone spurs. Phenomenal job! I recently broke my foot and didn’t think twice before setting up an appointment with him and his team. The care I am receiving and have received has always exceeded all expectations. He and his team truly care about the outcome and my recovery. Everyone on staff is super friendly and caring, not rushed. I brought my 4 year old granddaughter to one of my appointments and he made such an impression on her that she wants to be a doctor when she grows up! Everyone there was/is amazing! Big thanks to everyone for my continued treatment and recovery! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Very professional group, they took good care of me. I had surgery on my left foot 11/3/22, the entire team at the surgery center was amazing. My nurse, Chase, did everything possible to make me comfortable, the anesthesiologist and of course Dr. Fusco each took great care of me. Post op follow up was 11/8, I was in and out in record time. Dr. Fusco has such great bedside manner, he funny, kind and super easy to speak with. I have been in such great hands.

The entire staff was amazing from the time of meeting Dr Dean pre surgery to my appointment post op. The entire team have been helpful and very knowledgeable.
My hip surgery is not anything anyone wants to go through. But Dr Dean and his staff have made it easier and I look forward to a full recovery.

I first came here to see Dr. Fusco. He had his work cut out for him when he first saw me and didn't even know it. Nothing that was his doing, but my body not cooperating, five or six surgeries later he was finally able to say goodbye for the last time. It was a pleasure having him as my doctor. His nurse was amazing. All of his staff were awesome. I knew I was in good hands with that team. The were always cheerful, friendly, caring and compassionate. Dr. Fusco is a Podiatrist. A superb one too. I will always remember how kind you were to me.

The next doctor that I saw was for Pain Management, Dr. Chipman. He is brilliant. He takes the time to find exactly where all my pain is so he can treat accordingly. I am so glad that I met him. He is so good he could do it blindfolded. He is so fast he beats the anesthesia to work. NP Bouyton is so delightful. She is beautiful, always smiling and sure knows what she is doing. I normally don't like NP's, but she is a charm of one. All their staff are so courteous and wonderful. From the front end, to the staff in back, they are golden. They are always caring and understanding. Being a fairly new widow and under a lot of stress, they roll with my moods. I never know when I will crack under pressure. A furniture company was pushing and pressing me, and I couldn't get my bed. NP Boynton, was looking out for my privacy. I really appreciate her working with me. Being on a tight, fixed income is hard, and you try to save money any way you can. The store suggested I ask and it would be a breeze. In the end the furniture company became, cold, pushy, and downright rude to me. It is finally settled, with a big thank you to NP Boynton. I really appreciate everything. I appreciate each of you for what you do. I get the best care I have ever gotten for my back. You all are Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!!!
I will always recommend you to anyone that needs a Pain Management Team. Thank you for being mine. I am blessed.
