Patient Reviews

Dr. Mudd was much more helpful than I had expected. His staff was friendly and easy to get along. If a person has to find out that they need they’re hip replaced it could not have come from a better place crew with better experience and explanations about what’s going to happen and why it’s my best option.

Dr. Mudd is very professional, and I feel like he takes the time to reassure me when needed and answers all of my questions. I think 100% that he has my best interest at heart and that goes a long way. I have had several other experiences with Dr.'s that I felt treated me as a policy number and not a person. His assistant Katie is phenomenal! Very pleasant, genuine, caring and always takes care of any issues I’ve had dealing with scripts with workers comp and all of the paperwork needed for my employer. I would highly recommend Dr. Mudd to anyone. My accident happened at work, but if I were to need future non-related surgery, I would come back to him even not on a workers comp injury.

I think very highly of Andrea. She is so heartwarming. She listened attentively to what was going on with my left knee, took notes, and gave me her thoughts on what might be happening. She ordered an MRI, which I could get done immediately, and said she would also discuss it with Dr. Mudd.

Dr. Collard is wonderful. He is always professional, caring, and kind. He communicates everything well and answers all of my questions. I appreciate having an excellent surgeon with an outstanding bedside manner. Because of Dr. Collard, the entire pre- and post-surgery experience has gone well.

Andrea was very professional, efficient, friendly, and informative. All my questions were answered. An x-ray was performed, and I received a cortisone shot to relieve my discomfort. The shot felt less than a sting. Thank you.
