Patient Testimonials

Even with a bump or two during my recovery from hip replacement surgery, I must say the entire process from diagnosis to surgery and followup was first rate. Everyone in your office, from Dr. Vermillion to the assistant at the front desk, was professional, friendly and helpful. There were never long waits, and both you and Ben Kennah were always available for guidance, before and after surgery, during and after office hours.
