Dr. Albert Tom of St. Joseph Hospital Orthopedics performed both my hip replacements, a carpal tunnel surgery, and my husband's recent hip replacement. Before the surgeries I had to pull myself upstairs by hanging onto the banister due to weakness and pain, and my husband had to use a walker to get around. Post-surgery I am now 68 and can still jump run dance and touch the floor, and my husband's recovery has been swift and fairly pain free. We would recommend Dr. Tom to anyone considering orthopedic surgery. His surgical experience is expansive, and the St. Joseph medical team is top notch.Patient Submitted Review

I recently had total knee replacement at St Joe's hospital in Nashua NH. Dr. Albert Tom was my surgeon and I couldn't be happier with the result. After only six weeks I have virtually full use of my new knee with no discomfort. Dr. Tom tells me that it will only get better. To say that I am thrilled with the result, after suffering for several years with arthritic knee joint pain, would be an understatement. I would like to thank Dr. Tom and his staff. I would also like to thank St Joe's and St Joe's Orthopedics staff as well. My experience, from the pre-op prep group, the surgery staff, post-op recovery, x-ray staff, the home PT service and the PT staff at St Joe's Healthcare satellite clinic in Hudson, was outstanding. Everyone, I interacted with, was concerned and caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Tom and St. Joe's to anyone considering a similar operation. Sincerely, Tom VayoPatient Submitted Review

I had tried everything I could think of to avoid hip replacement surgery, but the pain and lack of mobility finally convinced me to proceed with surgery. I found Dr. Tom due to recommendations I'd heard from others I knew as well as reviews. Once I met with him I knew he was the right doctor for me. Dr. Tom is warm and professional and it's clear he's an expert, meticulous in all aspects of hip replacement surgery. He took the time to review my tests with me, explaining how hip replacement would work; he explained the differences between traditional anesthesia and spinal. And, he he explained what I could expect both pre-and post surgery. After the surgery, he called me to check in, and my first post-op appointment was, in essence, a celebration of progress and clarification of next steps. He is an outstanding doctor. This surgery is life-changing, all for the good. I'm very glad I had the surgery, that he is my doctor, and my future is one to look forward to. Thank you, Dr. Tom!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Tom listened to my concerns and advised the best ways to alleviate the pain in my hip. He gave me choices and I chose a total hip replacement. He worked with my schedule and performed the surgery as quickly as possible. I no longer limp or have any pain. If I have the problem on the opposite hip I will not hesitate to seek his assistance. Recently my shoulder has bothered me. He gave me options as well and I decided to take a slow approach with cortizone shots. Dr. Tom is extremely personable and put me immediately at ease. I would recommend him (and I have) in a heartbeat!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Tom did an absolutely amazing job replacing my knee!!! I couldn’t be more pleased with the results or the recovery process. I was up walking and climbed a few stairs just hours after the operation. I went in for the procedure at 6 am and was home by 1 pm. The recovery process and end result have far exceeded my expectations and I continue to impress my physical therapist who also agrees that Dr. Tom is the best around. If you are contemplating knee replacement surgery, don’t hesitate to see Dr. Tom! Just one consultation and you will be impressed and comforted by his pleasant demeanor, caring mannerisms and extensive knowledge. He and his robot can do wonders for you, as they have done for me. Being a repeat client is the best form of compliment I could give Dr. Tom and I’ve already booked my next knee replacement for later this year.

He seems never rushed and takes the time to listen and address my concerns and questions. Dr. Tom is by far the finest orthopedic I have ever worked with and I have already recommended him to several friends. He is 5 stars all the way - and just a really great guy to work with

I first met Dr Tom around 2016 when I was having bad thumb pain. Dr Tom fixed it through surgery. 2 weeks later I fell and seriously broke my ankle...again, Dr Tom repaired it. 4 months after that, I put my dancing shoes back on. I eventually had him do my other thumb when it was getting bad. Then came my knee issue that I was having trouble with for many years. We tried all the conservative measures and decided a total knee replacement was in order. I was no longer dancing and living my life. I was in pain 24/7. I could not walk without pain. Well, 2 weeks after surgery I was walking with just a cane. 4 weeks after, I stepped on the dance floor again just to try a few steps. 8 weeks later I went to my first dance social and danced! 3 months later I am back! He literally gave me my life back! I am still being careful but so happy I met him all those years ago. I trust him for all my orthopedic needs!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Tom is simply outstanding. He performed a bilateral full shoulder replacement (both shoulders, that is) for me two years ago, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Mine was a case that involved complicated traumatic injuries, multiple broken bones and dislocations, so therefore it was a less-than-straightforward case, and Dr. Tom repaired the injuries brilliantly. Today I have full, normal use of both arms, and am living a pain-free normal life once again. I'm facing knee replacement surgery in the not-too-distant future, and I have utmost confidence in Dr. Tom to perform the surgery, in fact I wouldn't want anyone else. If you or a loved one are facing joint replacement surgery, you should consider meeting with him. In my opinion you'll be glad that you did.Patient Submitted Review

Dr Albert Tom performed the operation to replace my left hip last year in April, and seriously, I had almost 0 pain even the first day, and even the slightest pain disappeared within just two or three days. I am an 84 year-old Male and I am currently walking between three and 4 miles almost every day. I will regress a little bit. I actually walked a 5K. Walk last, September just five months after my operation and finished first in my class. I walk at the rate of a pretty regular 3.3 mph.

I would highly recommend Dr. Tom. He did shoulder replacement surgery on my Mom when she was 84 years old. She has had a complete recovery and no longer has any pain in that shoulder. He continues to see her to give her Cortisone shots in her other shoulder and to follow her progress. He is a compassionate and highly qualified surgeon.Patient Submitted Review

First let me say Dr. Tom was a referral for a second opinion for me. I broke my shoulder at work. The Dr. was seeing explained nothing to me. I went to see Dr Tom and Emily he listened and explained things to me. Thinking everying was healed I went back to work 3 months after. A few months later I Was still having pain and my range of motion was diminishing. I called him he sent me right away for a MRI. The results from the MRI showed Scar tissue. We tried cortizone shots, yes of course I am allergic to them. I go back to the office to see Emily. She says we can do surgery for a muscle release. Let’s do it. I needed anything to relieve the pain. I work with infants so I need to be able to lift. Going in for surgery Dr. Tom promised he would not come out of the operating room until he cleaned up my shoulder. As I woke up from surgery I found out that I had a total bicep tendon that was not seen on the MRI. He told me he found it while he was looking around because there was no scar tissue. He also found a bone spree. He cleaned me up. I am 2 and half months out I have done my PT followed Dr. Tom and my PT orders and I am back to full motion and can go back to work and pick up my babies. Dr. Tom and Emily and the whole department are amazing and very helpful. I would recommend them to anyone and if I ever need them again I would always go back. Thank youPatient Submitted Review

There are surgeons who raise the bar regarding patient needs and care. Dr. Albert Tom earned my confidence the first the he saw me, regarding the x-ray of my hip. The day of my hip replacement he came to pre-op to check on me. He smiles, alot. By the time he greated me in the operating room, he had gained my complete confidence. The surgery was done accurately, cleanly and efficiently. I am more than confident that he is a World Class Orthopedic Surgeon, affiliated with a First Class Hospital (St. Joseph Hospital, Nashua, NH)!Patient Submitted Review

I'm a 76 yr old , overweight woman who had hip surgery last March. I was very scared what the process would be,but Dr Tom and his staff helped with all my needs. I'd say the 1st two weeks I really needed help with putting on my compression socks & washing my feet ,but was able with a walker to get around. I was able to stay intouch with his staff as I really didn't need all the pain meds . Feeling great within 3- 4 weeks, although I'm sure each person is different. So extremely happy with my very thin scar about 4 to 5 " in length. Dr. Tom is without a doubt one of the best surgeons around. Can't thank him & his staff enough.

Dr. Tom has provided superior bedside manner. In addition to providing top notch and up to date surgical rotator cuff surgery he truly cares about recovery. He has worked well with physical therapy providing them detailed notes so they could provide accurate therapy. I highly recommend St. Joseph’s Hospital and even more so for Dr. Tom and their Orthopedic Team.Patient Submitted Review

Always feel I am getting the best care possible. Dr. Tom is the best. After severely breaking my arm, Dr. Tom was able to put me back together with a lot of hardware. I have full use of my arm, as good as before the fracture. Thank you Dr. TomPatient Submitted Review

My husband Harry 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 a very passionate, understanding, and shows he cares for his patients. I would recommend Dr Tom everyday all day.Patient Submitted Review

I had a right total knee replacement 6 weeks ago. Dr. Tom at St. Joseph 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'm doing great, but Dr. Tom took the time to make sure the scar was minimal and he even lined up my pumpkin tattoo as best as possible. I could cry I'm so happy with the results. It's pencil thin. I can walk, I can go upstairs with out 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. As a matter of fact, I'd follow this Dr any where. He is that good. If you need ortho help, please, go see Dr Tom, you won't regret it!Patient Submitted Review

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'm okay and making progress. He is so attentive and so helpful. I dread doctor appointments...I enjoy Dr Tom. Thank you Dr Tom, I'm active with my kids again. I feel great and although I'm not quite 100% now 5 mos post op...I'm close! Thank you Dr Tom.Patient Submitted Review

AWESOME DR! He literally just operated on my 93 year old mother yesterday for a broken hip. He has a great bedside manner and is very personable and professional. Dr. Tom kept us updated throughout the process. He followed up late yesterday afternoon when he visited her in her hospital room. All of the other staff at St. Joseph's in Nashua, NH were wonderful (except for one), and Dr.Tom is/was one of those wonderful people. My mother was at ease around him - which is good.Patient Submitted Review
