Explained everything in a way I could understand. Everyone at the office was super nice. The nurse, the lady that scheduled my surgery. All very compassionate answered all my questions.
Dr. Schweller has been great through out this process of having a broken leg. Very informative, very kind. I would recommend coming here.
Complete examination. Very informative and phenomenal Doctor
Courteous and professional services were provided thru out the visit
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!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience! It's wonderful to hear that Dr. Drouillard and his team were able to ease your anxiety and provide excellent care during your knee replacement revision.
Dr. Drouillard is not only a skilled professional but also compassionate with a great bed side manner. Dr. Drouillard has been taking care of me for 32 years. I had my right knee replaced and my recovery was uneventful. PERFECT!!
The staff is very helpful from making the appointment to checking out. I would highly recommend this office.
I had surgery with Dr Paul Droullard on 4/22/25 at core well health hospital at first he was very nice. However, I ended up on the day of surgery afterwards with with a drop foot. I did a follow up with him he never addressed the issue nor explained what happened in the operating room. He was avoiding the topic when I addressed it in front of him he lied to my mom in the area where you sit for the operation. He never mentioned anything happening in my surgery. He said everything went fine to my mom . Apparently it didn't. I we ended up with a drop foot. Plus I woke up to two doctors I didn't even know over top of me addressing the drop foot . Not once did he ever come to hospital. Will not recommend.
