Coastal Orthopedics earns thanks from grateful patient

I wanted to give thanks and praise to the very best: Coastal Orthopedics and Sports Medicine/Pain Management.

Coastal Orthopedics staffs caring, attentive, polite professionals that make you feel comfortable and cared for from the time you come in until the time you check out. They are thorough and genuinely concerned for the well being and comfort of their patients.

I am a 50-year-old woman who crushed her elbow in pieces misstepping off a bus. I was scared to death!

For more than five months I was in and out of X-rays, surgeries, stitches, and casts. The caring concern, sympathy, professional diagnosis and follow-up at Coastal Orthopedics was and is outstanding beyond compare.

I highly recommend Dr. Melissa Boyette, a perfectionist at her craft, and her assistant Gloria Lunn, who personally took care of me, and the entire staff from that organization.

They really know what they are doing and they go above and beyond. Thank you again, Coastal Orthopedics, for taking such good care of me.
