  • “I highly recommend Dr. Crosby and the administrative and nursing staff at Carolina Orthopaedics. Dr. Crosby clearly explained the procedure I was to have and the therapies needed post-surgery. The surgery was conducted precisely as described and Dr. Crosby and the staff made every effort to minimize the costs. Dr. Crosby's approach to medicine meant that I had no pain post-procedure, and the team thoroughly educated me about how to take care of the surgical area post-surgery to support healing. At all times, the staff and Dr. Crosby were available to answer any questions that I had. The surgical office runs like clockwork, in a highly professional manner. All staff are friendly, thorough, and possess the appropriate education and capacity in their positions. I always had a high level of confidence and trust in Dr. Crosby's and all staff members' expertise and support.”

  • “I highly recommend Dr. Brothers to anyone I meet needing knee or hip surgery. He is the most caring, professional doctor. I have had the pleasure of working with him all of my years of doctor/patient experience. His staff is lovely also. He is very patient when explaining what is going to be done, breaking it down in layman's terms. If you have additional questions, he will answer them until he is satisfied that you understand. The care and concern he has shown to me are second to none. So happy I chose him for my procedure.”

  • “Dr. Pappas performed surgery after I fell and shattered my calcaneus. He explained my options, the procedures and his recommendation in an easily understandable way. While no one ever likes the idea of surgery, he put me at ease and made me very confident of a good outcome. Hope never to meed him again, but would go back to him if the need arose.”
    – Ian V.
    Treating Doctor: Alexander J. Pappas, M.D.
  • “I am incredibly pleased with Strand Orthopaedics and the entire staff. Special thanks to Dr. Justin Brothers and Catherine for all they did for me regarding my left hip replacement. I'm doing a lot of mountain biking and looking forward to hiking the Ithaca NY Gorges this summer and hopefully hiking the more accessible parts of Mt. Rainer in WA with my son this fall.”
