Dr Driscoll is thorough, professional and caring. I had steroid shots over 3 years in my knee until they were not effective anymore. Dr. Driscoll did my knee replacement which went well. I will continue to go to him with any future needs. Thank you Dr. Driscoll!

Dr. Driscoll is a gem! His calm reassuring and collaborative manner helped me make the best decision on how to treat my shoulder pain. I listened to him and he actually listened to me and my concerns. Dr. Driscoll came up with a future plan to continue the healing process. By the way, his Medical Tech and Physician Assistant were equally supportive before interacting with Dr. Driscoll. Five Stars for this team!

I am a candidate for a knee replacement. Dr. Driscoll has helped me relieve the pain with two injections so far. He seems considerate and thoughtful. Speaking as a patient, the facility is nice and the whole office runs smoothly. I liked the PA's and techs also.
