Patient Reviews

Dr. Mudd is not only a distinguished and knowledgeable practitioner; he is an excellent communicator, friendly but also direct and forthright. If I end up needing surgery, I can't imagine having anyone else perform it. But his goal is to give me the tools to avoid surgery and improve my overall health. I would and have recommended him to others.

Andrea saw me. She was very professional and listened patiently to everything I had to share with her concerning my surgery. She has seen me several other times, and she has always been very proficient. Andrea makes me feel comfortable with the diagnosis, and her knowledge and professionalism assure me. Andrea, you're the greatest. Thank you so much.

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.

Dr. Pitts is always relaxed and comfortable to communicate with. I appreciate his willingness to discuss all options and help me arrive at the best solution. I never feel like he is rushed. He always takes time to answer all of my questions.

Dr. Collard is incredibly professional, informative, and positive. He is an excellent surgeon. We have connected with him over the past 15 years for many of our family's needs. Thank you, Orthopedic Associates.
