My husband had his left hip replaced by Dr Refvem last month and he has been very pleased with the entire process. Dr Refvem did a wonderful job and answered all of our questions and gave us very personal service. He is a wonderful physician. A christian, is caring and a praying man, prayed with us as he went into surgery. We were very pleased.

He took the time with me to explain and answer any questions I had. I've never felt better than I have before my surgery! Thank you Dr. Refvem.

I have needed the services of Blue Ridge Orthopedics on a few occasions. And each time I have had great experiences. The doctors are knowlegable and comfortable to talk with. They take time with each appointment. I have needed surgery on two occasions with fabulous outcomes. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
