Patient Feedback

I’m emailing in regards to my visit today with Dr. Weatherford. I just wanted to email you and tell you how wonderful your staff is! Hannah and Kaia were both very pleasant and professional as well as Dr. Weatherford himself! He made sure I understood everything during my appointment and the three of them are just very personable people! My mother also had a wonderful experience with them as well therefore she ended up recommending Weatherford to me and I’m very glad I went to see him instead of going somewhere else! I will recommend your office to anyone who needs any orthopedic specialists!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Reetz
