Testimonials
We are very pleased with all your help you did for us last Thursday. Hope to see you again on 20 May and maybe things will go better for Clay. Thank you again
Elyssa and the team at Orthopedic Surgical Partners are excellent. From the front desk, to the X-rays, diagnosis and treatment, everything is handled quickly, professionally and friendly. They make a difficult situation very easy. Appointments and east to book, and the walk in service is prompt and thorough. They have X-rays on site, and wait times are minimal. Elyssa and others I've seen are very knowledgable, take time and care with a diagnosis, and treat the injury with care and expertise. All around excellent system!
I had a wonderful experience from my first phone call to my visit with Alyssa. The staff was very friendly, efficient and professional. Highly recommend
You are very welcome. You have done a great job 2x for me.
I was in such severe shoulder pain when I went in to OSP walk in for help. They were unbelievably kind, knowledgeable and helpful. Elyssa Root and Rosa (the nurse) are wonderful. I had to go back for a second visit because the first line of treatment wasn't as effective as expected. They remembered me, listened and put me on a new plan. My shoulder is so much better and I am scheduled for a follow up in a few weeks. Unlike urgent care where they tell you to follow up with your primary, OSP schedules you to come right back to them for continued care. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Timely appointments, helpful staff and excellent care. Great practice.
Had a great experience at this clinic. I love the walk in access, and I was able to go over lunch to get care for an injury right away. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout. Elyssa listened to my concerns and got me exactly the care I needed. I would highly recommend this entire OSP team!
My experience with this group has always been excellent ftom office staff to clinical staff. I would not consider smother group.
Ms. Root was terrific! She diagnosed my degenerative disk disease in my lower back with X-rays, showed me the results, explained why that area was so painful, and prescribed me a course of prednisone and a muscle relaxant which helped tremendously. And all with a cheerful demeanor, a professional attitude and a caring spirit. The week after she provided me a note which my employer needed to order me a more comfortable chair at work. I’m so glad I went to this ortho clinic!
