The ex ray tech was the best. She handled ALL of my bones with care. If you need a ex ray I would go see her

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. 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.

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.

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.
