Dr. Emblom has done several surgeries and BMAC Therapy in my husband and me. I am scheduled for another surgery next week. I obviously have the utmost confidence in the Dr. And his staff so I’m pleased to give a 5 Star review, but personally I want to give Dr. Emblom my top review. “Super Star Surgeon.” N.N.

Dr. Emblom and his staff are great. They address every issue that the patient have . You see I’m afraid of surgery because of anxiety and panic attacks but they put me at ease. , and didn’t act like it was just a mental illness. They made me feel safe and comfortable all the while correcting my shoulder problems.

I had hip replacement surgery. Dr Emblom did a fabulous job. I used Gameready with the recovery and took no opioids for pain. Only Tylenol. I am extremely pleased with both Dr Emblom and his office.

Dr Emblom has been our family Dr and surgeon for several years. Preformed many surgeries some of which were new procedures and very complicated. Others were hip replacements , knee replacements, knee scopes, shoulder repairs and others. Each one was a success with great results. I trust Dr Emblom’s opinions and surgery skills more than any other Dr. in his field. I would recommend him highly. His personality and mannerisms are of the highest quality.

Dr Emblem replaced my torn ACL. Everything from the first visit to the last was a great experience. The surgery went well and my recovery after 4 months has me back to 90% of where I was prior to my injury. My knee feels fantastic. I am back to cycling and working out. Hopefully I never tear another ACL. If I do there’s only one person to see. Thanks Dr Emblem.

I found Dr Benton Emblom to be very knowledgeable and confident orthopedic surgeon. I had surgery Jan. 30, 2023 for massive rotator cuff tear. I am so impressed with his gifted abilities as a surgeon. I had very minimal pain and no longer suffering shoulder pain constantly. Thank you again Dr Emblom
