I was impressed with the service I received at Columbia Orthopedics. The doctor took the time to listen to my expectations. He offered and explained various solutions. Prior to this visit, I had an assessment of less than 5 minutes by other physicians who only gave me a surgical option. I'm happy to finally have a promising course of action toward painless, improved mobility.

First of all, the young lady who checked me in was very pleasant and friendly. That’s a great start! Dr. Farmer’s nurse was also really sweet. I’ve seen Dr. Farmer a few times, and I like him very much. He tells it like it is in a way that’s easily understood.
