“Best doctor experience I've had, Dr. Miao was the fourth doctor I have seen for my shoulder injury. He instantly found the issue. The surgery and recuperation time was exactly as he described it. I went to the doctor and to physical therapy. Rachel was my Physical Therapist and she was awesome and put a lot of time into my rehab.”

“I have been extremely pleased with the great results of each of the surgeries that Dr. Tingey has done on my hips and shoulders over the years. He has also done gel injections and cortisone injections in both of my knees over the past approximately 6 years in our attempt to keep my knees as free from pain as possible before replacement becomes necessary in my aging body. ”

“My wife and I were very pleased that Dr. Bassewitz did not rush into surgery and that all avenues to alleviate my back problems were explored. The operation went extremely well. I am now virtually pain free which is better than I hoped for. It has changed my life. We cannot recommend Dr. Bassewitz and his wonderful PA, Edmund too highly. Thanks to the whole DOC team.”
