Personal Approach to Treating Patients:
“I believe that quality of life and mobility go hand in hand. Surgery is an excellent solution for several orthopedic issues, but is sometimes not the only option. My extensive and nationally recognized training has been focused on perfecting surgical treatment of orthopedic problems. I implement all techniques and technologies available, from computer navigation to minimally invasive surgical options. I believe that knowing when not to operate and use alternative therapies is equivalent in its importance. My goal is to understand every patient’s physical demands and requirements in order to develop a solution customized for their unique situation.”

I made an appointment to seem Dr. McCandless. Instead he sent his PA to see me. I don't know if my problem was explained to him correctly, because the answer I received was far from what I expected.
Told me the information I needed to know and was very helpful.
Very knowledgeable and thorough.
Very honest and professional.
He is an amazing doctor, very Thorough and doesn't candy coat anything which I like. Explains everything in detail
Dr was awesome once I was able to get into an exam room.
I spent a lot of time but got good advice.
Doctor was very helpful
I really like the follow-up work after the surgery. Everyone seems to really care how I'm doing and I appreciate that very much.
Exceptional service, very patient and detailed with me, and explained all of my x-rays I'm feeling very grateful for all his treats to me
