Patient Reviews
- “One word, great. If I had two more knees, I would come and get them replaced.”– Robert C.Treating Provider: James Goss, M.D.Patient Rating:
- “Dr. Phillips help me with my planters fasciitis. If you have a doctor, who can stick a horse needle in a patient's sole and still talk with them after the experience. Hang on to them. He also gave me some beneficial stretching exercises which I do daily in the shower; they seem to be working. Dr. Phillips then cleaned out my knee. I'm back on my hands and knees working in the garden. So I guess that one was also a success. Dr. Phillips feeling pretty good about himself was ready for more significant challenges. I appreciated his skipping my hip, and just going straight for my shoulder. My shoulder was more of a problem for me. My shoulder works well these days. I'm not your typical 67 years old patient. I'm a very immature 67 (probably closer to 20), or at least my brain thinks I am. So I will stress the limits of any repair. I'm happy to say I'm able to put in a hard day in the gardens. So I would give your practice a hearty two thumbs up! Thanks to Dr. Phillips. ”– David W.Treating Provider: John Phillips, M.D.Patient Rating:

- “Dr. Goss did surgery on my left knee first, and it was so successful I had surgery on the right knee. I’m a chicken when it comes to having any medical procedure, but Dr. Goss and his staff gave me confidence in their care that I chose to have the second surgery in only three months. How thankful I am that he was recommended to me.”– Dorothy S.Treating Provider: James Goss, M.D.Patient Rating:
