Couldn't be happier! This was my third, and final trip with my current injury. From the first visit to this visit, I knew I was in capable, professional. knowledgeable hands. The staff is super friendly. Which is very important to me. There is little to no waiting...again an important item. Bottom line...should you sustain an injury that requires professional care, look no further than OSMC.

My experience with Dr. Cadwell and Nurse Practitioner Eric Brown was nothing short of amazing and the utmost professional yet kind, caring, and great. From start to finish they were clear, concise, and made me feel comfortable and made sure I understood the process and afterwords the pain I had was gone , legit none . No pain pills no nothing but healing and smiles. I hands down recommend them and wouldn't hesitate ever to have them as my Dr's again. Osmc is an amazing place and I'm greatful to each and everyone of them there and Elkhart general nurses and staff for my surgery there. Definitely

Very pleased with Dr Schram & Dr Sonntag. Both physicians were thorough,caring,knowledgeable.
Both physicians are true professionals.
Dr. Sonntag performed shoulder surgery on my son. My son has had two other shoulder surgeries by another orthopedic clinic. This time his shoulder surgery had to be more extensive. Our entire family was so impressed with our sons recovery it was amazing.

Dr Grove has been the best. He has helped me with my pain issues. He understands my needs when I'm in pain. Pain can destroy your days & nights. Lack of sleep makes your life Miserable, then trying to get through the days becomes even harder. Dr Grove really understands how that is. He has kept me off the operating table for the past 6 years. Now maybe a pain stimulator, and I trust Dr Grove to do what he feels what's best for me, and ill put my trust in him. His nurses are fantastic. You want help with pain issues. See Doctor GROVE! THANKS Doc.,

Compassionate, educated, professionals from the moment you are greeted by the receptionist, working with the nurses, being examined by the Doctor and finally checking out! The most updated techniques are used to address your condition. I highly recommend them!
I just completed my follow up appointment and my right wrist and hand are improving daily! Dr. Cutcliff is a “wizard”! I would recommend this fine surgeon and the OSMC facility to everyone seeking professional excellence in their medical care!

Check in was quick and efficient. My wait was minimal. The nurse placed and order for X-rays that were done immediately. Dr Hix was waiting to see me when I returned from X-ray. He was thorough in his exam and explanation of my issue and options for treatment. Two appts were set up at check out which was also quick and efficient. OSMC is top notch and I would highly recommend them.

The people who work here are nice, but they refuse to work with you financially. My friend was sent to collections almost a month after she was billed for all of the surgeries even though she was paying them and had set up a payment plan. They told her that is just what they do.
