Patient Reviews

Bethanie was very thorough. She asked me questions about the type of pain I was feeling after going over the X-ray. She did a short checkup and recommended the next steps in my recovery, which were getting an MRI and continuing to wear the knee immobilizer. I was also given a note for my part-time job listing my restrictions.

Andrea is very professional and can answer all your questions. She will show and explain what and how it is healing. She is professional, knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. I am very happy with her and Dr. Mudd. They have changed my life. Thank you both; I am so happy to be out of pain.

A year after my anterior hip surgery, I had significant groin pain when attempting routine daily functions. I found Andrea to be most helpful and knowledgeable about my situation. I trust that the steroid injection will go a long way to bringing me back to sustained good health.

I had a follow-up appointment with Andrea for my spinal injection. Nothing has changed, as I have posted in other reviews regarding this office. Andrea was friendly and genuinely caring and wanted to understand and help with my issue. I never felt rushed, and I didn't leave with unanswered questions. I cannot say enough good things about this visit. I would give her ten stars if I could. If you need orthopedic care, this is where you need to be. This staff goes above and beyond to get you what's required. Make a call to this office; it will be the best choice you can make. Thank you, Dr. O'Boynick, Andrea, and the entire staff. Natalie is such an asset to this office as well. Thank you all for everything you're doing. After several years of nothing but going through providers, I finally believe I will have my quality of life back soon. Thank you.

This was my first time at this practice. The staff was friendly. Dr. Nelson is always friendly, polite, and
informative about my health and upcoming surgery. I have been a patient of Dr. Nelson for about 8 years. My personal opinion is that he is the best orthopedic doctor.
