Dr Farrell was so positive and enthusiastic about his work that I was inspired to choose him to do knee surgery on my right knee. It was the right choice. He explained everything in detail and gave me much reading material to educate and prepare me for the day of surgery. His assistant was available every week day to answer any questions. She was prompt in contacting me and was positive and patient. The day of surgery I was prepared for the surgery by several medical staffThey were clear in their instructions and quickly prepared me for the operating room. The care post surgery was excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Farrell and is team for knee surgery. The care and education I received were all too notch. And my recovery has been so much easier than I expected. Thanks Dr Farrell and team for providing excellent care which has improved my quality of life.

Just finishing rehab from my second total knee replacement by Dr. Farrell. Excellent results, even went home same day after the 2nd one. He has the absolute best “bedside” manner of any physician I have ever encountered.

Ive been a patient of Dr Farrells for about two years. Just over one year ago he performed a knee replacement and I cannot say enough about my good care from him and the excellent results I am experiencing. Amanda his office nurse deserves kudos as well! Although my other knee will most likely need replacement some day, I will definitely have it done by Dr Farrell.

Our introduction to Dr. Farrell was under extreme emergency conditions: my wife fell and broke her femur and Dr. Farrell was the on-call surgeon. How fortunate were we that he was! Dr. Farrell is not only a skilled surgeon, but he is a genuinely nice guy who cares for every aspect of his patients' lives and health. He talks to you like an intelligent adult and actually takes time during office visits. If either of us ever needs an orthopedist in the future, Dr. Farrell will be our "go-to guy"!

Dr. Farrell recently did my anterior total hip replacement . It could not have gone smoother. Dr Farrell and everyone associated with his practice, were incredible. The follow up PT staff and home nurse even commented on even how his incisions/scars are perfect when he performs the operations! I can honestly say it was one of the easiest things I have gone through in my life. Dr Farrell's expertise and personality made it a great, positive experience. Thank you Dr. Farrell!
