Dr Stubbart came highly recommended from others within the medical field and after my first meeting I understood why. Dr Stubbart was both professional and thorough while explaining things in layman terms. Dr Stubbart possesses strong interpersonal skills as well as active listening. He heard what I had to say and responded accordingly. I left his office feeling at peace, as well as comfortable and confident with my upcoming surgery. Highly recommend Dr Stubbart and Orthopaedic Associates of Michigan.

I would highly recommend you talk to Dr. Stubbart if you are considering a disk replacement. He was patient, explaining everything, and took his time. The procedure gave me outstanding results and I am truly grateful for no more pain. I am six months out and I would recommend you talk with Dr. Stubbart if you are are thinking about a disk replacement. Outstanding experience all the way around! Simply outstanding!
