“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.”
