Patient Reviews

  • “Dr. Merritt saw me in February for terrible hip pain and said I needed a new hip, but because my house had just been sold, I couldn't have it until resettling in North Carolina. He gave me pain med to cover the time until the move. Dr. Leak, Dr. Massey, and Dr. Bauerle all helped me and my late husband, from time to time. I miss your exceptional care and have settled near family in the NC mountains with hopes of finding equally competent care in the Asheville. Thank you for an excellent association!”

  • “I read in the Health Finders schedule that Dr. Brothers was speaking on knee surgery and the alternatives. I was having knee pain and problems walking, and I was already in therapy, so I decided to attend. I was impressed with what I heard and stayed to listen to the questions of other attendees. I got an appointment with Dr. Brothers, and we set a time for surgery. I had my surgery, and I am without pain in my right leg (new knee).”

  • “Dr. Everman was very professional and very cordial. He took time with me and answered all my questions. He showed me the before and after x-rays explaining precisely what was done. I felt very comfortable with him and his degree of knowledge.”

  • “I received the best care and service possible. Dr. Chambers and his staff are the best. He repaired a previous shoulder replacement done by a doctor in Charleston. Dr. Chambers reversed my shoulder joint so that my quality of life has dramatically improved. Works excellent way beyond what I thought would have been possible.”

  • “I went to Strand Orthopaedic with hopes of curing intermittent pain in my left ankle. What I was especially pleased with was that Dr. Pappas did not suggest surgery. We tried several non-invasive techniques before giving in to the inevitable last resort. Your surgery center is fantastic & the staff was terrific. Post-op instructions were laid out for me, and all follow-up appointments were met with expected improvements. Later I met someone who asked me who my doctor was. Dr. Pappas also operated on her son who injured his ankle in a skiing accident. She was also impressed with the skill and care they encountered from Dr. Pappas and your support staff.”
