Everyone at MAO was fantastic. From the time I checked in, until I walked out the door, I felt all staff took care of me. Dr Babb is fantastic. He explained what is wrong with my knees, and came up with a great treatment plan to help me move better.

I was referred to Dr. Babb for shoulder rotator cuff surgery. From the very start, I had very good communication and friendliness from all the staff. They were very thorough in their knowledge and efficiency in handling my case. From that start to the finish and through my PT I had absolutely no problems. I would definitely recommend Dr. Babb and his team!
