Dr. Simpson and his PA Tyler Branham are wonderful! I feel very comfortable with both of them. They were thorough, yet got me in and out in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Lubbock Sports Medicine.

Dr Shepard always takes the time to explain everything. He is patient and compassionate. His team is first rate. When I had knee replacement surgery, everyone that I interact with made the process smoother.

Knowledgeable and friendly doctors, assistants, x-ray tech, and all other staff. I was very pleased with how everyone listened well to the details of what was wrong, and that the first recommendation wasn't necessarily for surgery. Dr. Campbell explained a few different options for now and for the future. Very organized office and all the workers seemed pleased to be there.

Excellent facilities and environment. All of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and they care about the patient as an individual. I would highly recommend LSM. Dr. Robert King is one of the best orthopedic surgeons. He takes the time to listen and explain everything in easy to understand terms.

My visit was outstanding with Dr J. Simpson. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain exactly what my condition was and what the treatment options are. He answered all my questions and was very kind and pleasant. The facility is very clean and modern and all the support staff are helpful and friendly. Definitely a 5 star experience!

It's good to know that in the unfortunate event you should require orthopedic care, Lubbock Sports Medicine has the expertise to take care of your issues. Dr. Shephard was my chosen surgeon for bilateral total hip replacement and I couldn't be more pleased. Not only is he very skilled in his work, he's easy to talk to as well. A recent visit to see Dr. Crawford's PA, (Mannie Hernandez), yielded me the same knowledgeable and respectful professionalism. I strongly recommend LSM for anyone in need of orthopedic care.

Great experience. I honestly try to avoid going to the doctor. I am never sure if I have a problem or if a bit of time will help. Plus, I’m not too fond of the process. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy, and pain-free everything went. It was fast, everyone was friendly and helpful, and Dr. Crawford was excellent. I felt satisfied with my visit and hopeful for my plan of care.
Thank you for all you guys do!
