Dr. James has performed several surgeries on me. I am having a horrible time with my foot and heel. I will have another surgery on Friday to help that pain. I would not use another orthopedic doctor. He is the best!!!

Dr James has been a great doctor for my son's repeated meniscus injuries, so when mine started acting up, I knew exactly who to call. Got me right in, sent me for an MRI, then called to have me come in to discuss surgery. As always, he did an awesome job and still has a terrific bedside manner. Just adore him, and his staff is just as pleasant to work with!

Never seeing him again. I am in too ill health and too old to be spoken to in such a condescending and insulting rude manner.

Dr. James was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous & friendly. He discussed my condition, treatment options & considered my needs related to his plan of treatment without rushing me through like cattle. He listened attentively & answered all my questions, as well as, my daughters. I've seen many orthopedic doctors & he's by far, the best I've seen to date. I look forward to having as positive an outcome as possible; (considering these old bones) from his treatment plan; that doesn't involve surgery, time consuming physical therapy or expensive tests & scans.

I used Dr. James to fix issues that were missed by SOS the previous year. He is straightforward with a compassionate bedside manner. He uses surgery as a last resort, and explains everything thoroughly before hand. I would use him again in a heartbeat.
