I went in to talk to Dr. Putman about a shoulder replacement. He took the time to sit down and answer any questions I had. After I finished he explained the whole process including rehab. I was very pleased with him.

I Love Ortho SC in Murrel's Inlet. I have now been treated by Dr. Bohan (Knee Replacements), Dr. Putman (Carpel Tunnel) , and now Dr. Mathern (Nerve Damage). These Doctors are simply the BEST of the BEST. They make you feel truly special and they certainly care about getting your health back to where it should be. I never thought I would say I love going to a Doctor's office but I truly LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!! The entire staff from the front desk, MRI building and EVERY OTHER employee that you come in contact with treats you with respect and care. Don't short yourself if you are in pain and need THE VERY BEST DOCTOR's go to ORTHO SC in Murrel's Inlet. I promise you will be thankful and delighted with EVERYONE there and receive the BEST care for your health issue's. God Bless this Place!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Putnam was punctual and very professional. He was knowledgeable and to the point. He diagnosed my issue and we started out with X-rays which if needed will then get an MRI. He did not rush the appointment and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Putman.
