In patients' words
"I really trust Dr. Knudson... Dr. Knudson did everything I expected from surgery. He answered all questions and wasn't in a hurry."
— Patient review of Dr. Gary Knudson"Dr. Naylor has provided treatment to avoid surgery for a few years and that has made me extremely happy. Now it has come to a point that knee replacement surgery is necessary and I have complete confidence in Dr. Naylor as my surgeon."
— Patient review of Dr. Richard Naylor"He did surgery on my broken wrist. I only have about 40% usage after almost a year. The incision was the worst sewing up job I've ever seen... Not much of a caring personality either."
