Patient Reviews

  • “Friendly, professional and knowledgeable.”
    – Barbara S.
    Treating Doctor: Alexander J. Pappas, M.D.
  • “I was impressed with Strand Orthopedic by the professionalism and proficiency of their staff and operation. Dr. Thomas Chambers did an excellent job replacing my right knee and setting up physical therapy for me that was convenient to my home. One stop shopping - from the initial consultation, x-rays, MRI, and hospital stay - step-by-step a well-oiled machine. As an R.N. I was concerned with the rate of infection, the medications post-op and number of knee replacements Dr. Chambers routinely performs. The infection rate was far less than the national average; the medical 'cocktail' provided left me entirely without pain for 48 hrs and the surgery impeccable allowing me a range of motion that I hadn't had in more than 40 years. Dr. Chambers routinely performs knee replacements using cutting block technology with the latest custom designed prosthetics. If you are considering having orthopedic surgery, this is the place to go!”
