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. I never waited a long time and always very kind and caring staff.
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. 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! Great Lake’s Orthopedic Dr. Tim Doig and his staff are all great.
I was taken in at my appt time. Only a couple minute wait for doctor once I was put in a room. Everyone was very pleasant and friendly. Dr. Doig was kind and very easy to talk to.
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.
Dr. Paul Drouillard has replaced both hips & repaired my right rotator cup. Excellent job - everything as good as new. No after affects whatsoever. Would not consider any other doctor for my orthopedic repair work.
Dr. Doing is a brilliant, skilled Dr. I am very pleased with my surgery and my recovery is going well. He makes me feel comfortable with his calm approach when I am at my appointments with him. The nurses and staff are also very nice.
All the office as well as clinical staff are by far the best in the business!! Always professional and courteous. I have nothing but the greatest respect for Dr Doig. He has always talked and treated me at a level that I understand, that's a unique quality, you don't see everyday.
Very professional every one is always friendly and the Dr's keep their appointment times with their patients. This is my second time for shoulder problems in 15 yrs of wear and tear and they keep me going.
I had a 8:00 appointment and I was in the back by 8:05.Dr.Lawley listens to all my concerns. The medical assistant was great.I love that the staff is friendly from the front desk all the way until I checked out
The staff was so very friendly, polite, and helpful. Doctor Doig was kind and explained everything to where I can understand and it was only my first day.
If your appointment is at 8am you are being called at 8am not waiting for a 1/2 hour before bing called to a room and waiting to see the doctor. It si a place that keeps there on time great place nice staff as well
Dr. Drouillard and his team are an exceptional group of professionals. After calling every single orthopedic office in the area, Cindy at the front desk squeezed us in for same day appointment after letting her know both of my son's wrists were broken. Cindy worked fast to ensure paperwork was done promptly so we wouldn't have to wait, she is a breath of fresh air. From the moment we got to the appointment, the team was ready, we did not have to wait to be seen. Dr. Drouillard instantly had a team looking at my son and working to solve the situation, not one person on his staff was confused as what to do. Dr. Hass worked fast to alleviate the situation and was super compassionate with my son. I have yet to see a Dr.'s office with such high caliber professionals, organization and compassion. Every other Dr.'s office needs to take notes on professionalism and organization from Dr. Drouillard's staff. Words cannot express how thankful I am for finding you guys, thank you for everything!!
I went here for my first time visit, and to be honest, I was very scared at first, then once the nurse and Dr. came in, they both made me feel comfortable . It was very clean and I did not wait a long time . Dr. Walkiewcz was very friendly and gentle. i had to get a shot in my knee. He was very gentle.
I have always had a great experience with the staff - from Dr. Drouillard, to his interns , exray technician, Lisa, and the receptionists. I haven't had to wait to see Dr. Drouillard more than 5 to 10 minutes. The staff is always working above and beyond to help their patients. I highly recommend Great Lakes Orthopaedics.
We are satisfied with my son's care for his sports injuries. The doctors were able to relate directly with my son on a personal level with the sports that he plays. They understood his feelings about not being able to participate because of the injury. They provided us with an honest time frame for him to return to his sport so there were no disappointments. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this office.
Saw Doctor Doig about knee and foot injury, he and everyone here treated me with respect and listened to me. Very friendly, but also honest and direct about care needed.
