Dr. DEAROLF IS CARING, INFORMATIVE AND AN EXPERT ORTHOPEDIST. Taking good care of me post arm fracture. Terry Cullison,RN, MSN
Excellent treatment as usual, just like the last 36 years that I have been treating with Dr Dearolf. Thank you.
Appreciated concern for problems experienced after surgery. His timely intervention allowed me to complete a trip. He patiently explained questions and assured me help was available when needed and not rigid with time demands His smiling face and cheerful countenance and manner , maybe along with a few pounds, reminded me of Santa, appropriate in this season. Help is available even if your body is becoming more demanding.
Dr Dearolf is the best. If he can’t help you nobody can. He can pinpoint what’s wrong with you before you even have any test done. He’s a human MRI machine. They don’t come any better than him.
Dr Dearolf has fabulous bedside manner and is the kind of doctor you would want every doctor to be. He is caring and knows his craft!
Got in and out with excellent service in 25 minutes.
Always walk out of his office informed and cared for!!
