I have chronic knee pain & needed some relief. I went to the OrthoKnox walk in clinic & they took great care of me. I got an injection in each knee. I highly recommend them for any orthopedic need.

Entering physical therapy is most likely not on anyone’s bucket list but things happen. Michael and his team keep the atmosphere exceptionally upbeat and they serve a very broad range of patiences. I’m near the end of my own near three month adventure with amazing results. I am grateful for their care and highly recommend them for anyone needing PT.

Orthodox is hands down the best physical therapy clinic in town. Michael Hoag was not only knowledgeable about my injury but took the time explain how my body has reacted to surgery. I definitely recommend OrthoKnox.

Neil's commitment to excellence and his high standard toward patient care was demonstrated at my recent appointment. His attitude while answering my questions concerning the upcoming shoulder surgery was outstanding. He provided the necessary information to address my questions and concerns preparing me for the surgery. My thanks for his understanding of my needs.
