Patient Reviews

  • “Dr. Merritt is an excellent surgeon. He did a full knee replacement on me back in December, and I feel great. In April he did a total knee replacement on my wife, and she is feeling great only ten weeks later. We both recommend Dr. Merritt to all of our friends who are having problems with their knee's. Dr. Merritt is #1 in our book. Thank you, Dr. Merritt.”

  • “I had broken the 5th metatarsal in my right foot while at my home in Connecticut about five weeks before our annual one month stay in Myrtle Beach. Strand Orthopedics saw me quickly and gave me the all clear to play some golf. I sincerely appreciate their professionalism and expert care. In Connecticut, I was treated by the incredible professionals at the Hospital for Special Surgery one of the most respected orthopedic groups in the world. In my opinion Strand Orthopedics ranks right up there with the best. Highly recommended.”

  • “I've had several foot surgeries over the last five years performed by Dr. Crosby. I will say they were very successful especially the last one in which complications developed. His suggestion with additional therapy did the trick.”

  • “Dr. Chambers was very kind and compassionate. I had to have shoulder manipulation and had it done at your outpatient clinic! What a treat that was the nerve block worked, and I did not have to take pain meds. The first surgery was done at Grand Strand, and the nerve block did not work at all!”
    – Sally D.
    Treating Doctor: Thomas J. Chambers, M.D.
  • “Dr. Bohan replaced all four of my major joints, and all of them are functioning correctly. I've returned to playing golf, and I ride my bike an average of 100 miles per week. How good is that? When I started eight years ago, I could barely walk. Everything was well planned and well executed.”

  • “June 11th, Dr. Merritt did a left hip replacement. Last year he did a right hip replacement, and I would not have any other orthopedic surgeon perform these surgeries. Dr. Merritt was extremely professional all through this process. His diagnosis in both instances was correct; he was right to the point. Dr. Merritt is the best. His staff is very attentive, and pleasant helped me with any question I had either before or after my surgeries.”
