Dr Fillingham was professional, excellent bedside manner. He put my children at ease with the surgery and his follow up was beyond expectations. I highly recommend him.

Dr Fillingham agreed to take me on as a patient for knee revision surgery after a total knee replacement in 2021 with a different practice and surgeon. He did a full assessment ( complete with diagnostics) and gave his best opinion on my issues ( my knee was locking) that seemed to mystify my previous surgeon. His team did a great job preparing me for surgery and treated me with respect and professionalism. He was able to repair my problem with minimal distress to my very anxious body. He has a warm, calm bedside manner and is a great listener. What a gem.

Dr. Fillingham performed my total hip replacement, and he was hands down wonderful. He answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable with the procedure. A consummate professional. The whole experience was very smooth, and the communication, especially about what to expect and what to do post-op, was great. Highly recommend.

Client My visit went excellent. To be able to see my x-ray and to know that the hip is well intact makes me feel real good. Dr. Fillingham did a real good job.

From beginning to end, my experience with Dr. Fillingham was excellent. He did a hip replacement for me. My recovery went well. His nurse was always available to help me through the questions that came up. I whole-heartedly recommend him should you be needing a joint replacement.

The overall experience at Dartmouth-Hitchcock was very professional. Dr. Fillingham and his team were amazing from start to finish. I am so satisfied with the results - I can put my socks on again!

Dr Fillingham and his team worked with me before, during and after my surgery. My endless questions were always answered and never ignored. My fears, concerns and even a few demands were not only heard but addressed with true understanding and compassion. My surgery was a life altering experience both mentally and physically and the Fillingham team was AMAZING. My heartfelt thanks to everyone!
