Dr. Laidlaw is fantastic! He listens, knows his stuff, and doesn't beat around the bush. He makes excellent recommendations and isn't "surgery happy." He gives all the options and provides solid advice. This is my second time with Dr. Laidlaw and I can't imagine going to anyone else for my orthopedic needs.
