Dr. Efird operated on my shoulder for a tear in my rotator cuff and I made a full recovery thanks to his surgery skill and therapy. I highly recommend him for both his skill and for his practice. He is extremely personable and his entire staff is caring and helpful.

My 89-year-old mother fell and broke her hip, and Dr. Efird was her surgeon. He was very good, explaining the type of fracture she had, and coming out after surgery to show us her xrays and the 3 screws he put in the ball of her hip to repair it. He took time to answer our questions in the midst of a busy schedule, and he never seemed rushed or in a hurry to get away. Highly recommend him!

Dr. Efird looked at my x-rays of my back and explained what he thought was wrong and asked if I had any questions, which he answered. I thought he had a very good bedside manner and would go to him again.
