Dr Farmer did my right hip 14 years ago and it’s great. He is doing left hip next month. I drive 100 miles to him and it’s worth every mile!

I needed a Cortizone injection in my right knee and Dr. Farmer was able to fit me in take x-rays and give me not only one Cortizone shot but one in both my knees! I am forever thankful! Plan to have a right shoulder, partial tear of my rotator cuff done in December. Extremely helpful.
