“A friend recommended Dr. Mortimer and spoke so highly of him when I got home, I called and made an appt. I got in that week. I liked him immediately. He was so sweet and so real, and when I found out his uncle was my parents' Veterinarian when I was younger, sold! He has replaced my hip and did a reversed total shoulder replacement in the last year, and both are doing fantastic! He gave me so much encouragement by just telling me I was so tuff and I am the biggest baby in the world! Ask my husband! His PA, Mike, is just as caring as Dr. Mortimer and Keith his Tech is sweet and always returned my calls asap with any questions I had! So cool to find a Dr. you can trust your life to because I need my other shoulder replaced!! Have recommended him to several people! Dr. Luke Mortimer Rocks!”

“Dr. Gaffney is, by far, the most personable doctor I have ever met. It is very evident he cares about you and getting you back to your healthy lifestyle. Most times, when nurses would return phone calls, Dr. Gaffney was the one to personally call me and see how I was doing after my injection, MRI, and follow up after surgery. Would sing his praises to anyone having spine/back issues.”

“I went in to make an appointment; they were able to fill out my paperwork, get my X-rays, and see me right then an there. Dr. Chilvers was terrific, straightforward explanations, what to expect how long it should take. Answered all my questions, and I left feeling at ease.”

“I am thrilled with the quality of care, all providers I came in contact with and the genuine concern they all had for me and my needs. I never felt rushed or that they had someplace else to be. Becky Stafford, Dr. Gaffney, and Kyla were all fantastic, understand, and caring people. I believe her name was Melanie; she was so easy to talk to and visit with. She helped with understanding what the next step was and is truly good at what she does!! I am pleased with the facility. I choose to do my physical therapy there and hope I am as happy with them as I am with the rest of the facility!”
