"I fell and broke my ankle, heel and leg bones away from the ankle. I went to Garden City Hospital via ambulance. I went in for surgery that day. Dr. Lawley did an amazing job! Everything is straight as can be. I'm walking again (with a Velcro brace) just less than 4 months after surgery. And, I have a tattoo around my ankle (one of a kind) Dr. Lawley put it back together and it's perfect. The staff is excellent and extremely friendly. I would recommend them to everyone."
"Dr. Drouillard recently did a revision on my knee replacement. He and the residents were great at easing my anxiety. This was my third time having a replacement and I was very, very scared. They no longer make my original implant so the whole thing was redone. After 6 weeks I am walking on my own and have so much less pain thanks to Dr. Drouillard. Really pleasant staff also from check in to check out!"
"Dr. Paul Drouillard has replaced both hips & repaired my right rotator cuff. Excellent job - everything as good as new. No after effects whatsoever. Would not consider any other doctor for my orthopedic repair work."
"Dr. Doig had to perform surgery on my left leg and my left ankle with a right rod in my right leg. And a special ankle plate for my right ankle. On October 16, 2016. After a severe fall. Dr. Timothy Doig did an outstanding job! I am doing great now! Thank you so much Dr. Tim Doig!"
"Exceptional service by staff and doctors. If you ever have shoulder issues I recommend Dr. Tim Doig. All doctors at Great Lakes Orthopedics are top of the line."
