“We all dread surgery and often feel surgeons are more like salesmen looking to cut us whether we need it or not. Dr. Tom was amazing from the get go. I had a full rotator cuff tear and bicep tear. He explained everything, he was friendly, and had an amazing sense of humor. He cares after surgery – making sure I am okay and am making progress. He is so attentive and so helpful. I dread doctors appointments, but I enjoy Dr. Tom. Thank you Dr. Tom, as I am active with my kids again.” – Eric

“Really good doctor. Double hip surgery and I’m walking really good. This guy knows what he’s doing and explains everything alongside Lindsey Campbell and others in the OR room. Thanks to them I’m walking.” – James

“Had a total knee replacement 6 weeks ago. Dr. Tom at St. Joseph Hospital Orthopedics put my mind to ease and explained everything that I would be going through before surgery and post op. I felt very prepared. I couldn’t be more happy with the results. I have lots of tattoos, including both knee caps. And I was so upset after seeing scars online after knee replacements. Not only am I doing great, but Dr. Tom took the time to make sure the scar was minimal. I could cry I’m so happy with the results. It’s pencil thin. I can walk, I can go upstairs without pain. Dr. Tom gave me my life back. I’m only 44 years old. I have so much more to experience, and now I can. I’ll be needing my left one replaced, and there is no one else I’ll have take care of me but Dr. Tom. If you need ortho help, please go see Dr. Tom, you won’t regret it!” – Misty

“Very competent and personable surgeon who is a shoulder specialist. He was very helpful in fixing my right shoulder after having dislocated it and torn several tendons and the rotator cuff. Very patient-centric and great at explaining the damages due to my fall. Highly recommend for shoulder problems.” – Eric

“My husband had 2 knee replacements from Dr. Tom and he did an excellent job on both knees. His recovery went smoothly. His knees were bone on bone and this past week after having x-ray on both knees, you could see a huge difference on the alignment of his knees. I’m very grateful for Dr. Tom for all he has done. He is very passionate, understanding, and shows he cares for his patients. I would recommend Dr. Tom everyday all day.” – Karen
