  • “Everything was great. From before my surgery to after and all through therapy. I have nothing negative at all to say about my experience. I would not hesitate to go back to him or to recommend someone to Dr. Putman.”

  • “Dr. Bohan was my surgeon for two hip replacements and one knee replacement. All three operations, physical therapies, and recuperation were successful. Happily, my husband and I had resumed all the activities we enjoyed before my joint issues began: hiking, swimming, and boating. Thankfully, I am now able to be actively involved with my five grandchildren ages 15 to 7. I feel blessed to have benefited from Dr. Bohan's surgical skill.”

  • “Dr. Ramsey gives me total confidence in his ability to operate and successfully replace my hip. He took the time to explain before the operation what to expect and afterward to review the results. I could not expect anything more.”
    – Elton J.

  • “I am a 55-year-old man who was diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the right hip, destroying the cartilage and bone of the hip. I did my homework and wanted an orthopedic surgeon who specialized in “Direct Anterior Total Hip Replacement” to perform the surgery. I learned that after completing his orthopedic surgery residency, Dr. Brothers completed an additional year of subspecialty training in adult reconstruction or hip and knee replacement, using the “Direct Anterior Approach” with his total hip replacements. I scheduled an appointment to see him and was immediately impressed with him. He patiently answered all of my questions about different hip implant options based on what was best for me. I canceled my surgery scheduled with an orthopaedist at another practice. In February Dr. Brothers performed the surgery. Three hours later I was walking on my own pushing a “walker” in front of me. I walked out of the hospital the next morning without the use of a walker or cane, pain-free. Due to the “Direct Anterior Approach” there was no cutting through muscle and therefore no Physical Therapy. My therapy was merely to walk as much as tolerable with periods of ice and elevation. Within two weeks I was walking a mile a day. Today, Sunday, June 24th, I have been pain-free since I left the hospital and had no limitations on what I can do. I am further impressed with Dr. Brothers’ “bedside manner.” During my time at the Hospital, he came to see me before the surgery, a few hours after the surgery, and the morning after the surgery. Additionally, I saw him in his office twice after the operation at which point we agreed to schedule an appointment a year later unless I had any questions or concerns before then. To anyone with hip or knee problems I recommend you go to see Dr. Brothers.”

  • “Before I went to Strand Orthopedics and met Dr. Merritt I was in pretty much in constant pain at my hip, walking and sleeping were difficult. Dr. Merritt explained to me my condition and recommended a solution to resolve this. With Angela's thoughtful attention to making all my scheduling arrangements my experience with Strand Orthopedics has been the greatest. I have absolutely no pain since my total hip replacement surgery. I walk, swim, ride my bike and look forward to improving my golf game. Thank you, Dr. Merritt and everyone at Strand Orthopedics!”
