"I trust Dr. Nassif implicitly. He is super smart, and after having him do both a hip and knee replacement, I can say that he is extremely skilled. I am currently recovering from knee replacement and am amazed at the speed of my recovery."
— Birdeye user review"Doctors seem good, but terrible customer experience. First time I went, I got no follow-up of any kind and had to search and talk to them to try to arrange my follow-up procedure."
— Yelp user review"The negative reviews all over the Internet are warranted... first, they took my MRI and they forgot to schedule the appointment... I finally got my surgery scheduled, now the doctor isn't available every 2 weeks for checkups as they promised."
