Dr Thalody is incredibly passionate and extremely knowledgeable in her field and after seeing her 3 times now I would never switch to anyone for my osteoarthritis. She allows time for questions and I never felt rushed. Also she cares about my entire well being, always asks how everything is going. This means a lot.

I saw Dr. Thalody after suffering a fall on my artificial knee. She had it X-ray’ed to make sure I didn’t damage any of the metal implants. My implants were fine, she took the time to examine the working of the knee and determined I was ok but I had a large hematoma. She provided me with detailed instructions on how to care for it. Dr. Thalody has also helped me with several other issues in the past and is very thorough before just giving a quick diagnosis. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has knee or hip problems.

I am so happy I had my appointment today because I was in a lot of pain thinking I pulled a muscle. After a exray every muscle was fine but I was having a bad flare up from my fibromyalgia which she knew what it was. I had hip replacement surgery and that went great so now with Dr Hope telling me her expertise so now I’m on the road to recovery!!

If I could give negative stars I would. If you want truthfulness stay away from her. Refuses to answer simple yes or no questions. No backbone.
