Great attitude and knows his Ortho
Very grateful for this team helping get my life back! 💜
Everyone was so kind and gracious. All of my questions were answered, and they were very thorough and the work they did and their explanations they gave me for the next steps of my recovery. I would recommend them to anyone.
My recovery has been better than most, so of course I am happy. But my 5* rating goes beyond that - it covers everyone at AOI! Inforemative, helpful, sympathetic, supportive.

Dr. Kilbride took his time with me, and listened to my concerns and developed a treatment plan that starts conservative which was what I was hoping for. Highly recommend him.
