The reviews listed below were collected independently of Prairie Orthopaedic & Plastic Surgery through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
I would recommend John to anyone. He stopped my leg from going numb while walking by immediately seeing that I needed a heel lift in my right shoe. And he made it easier for me to swim laps by working to decompress the vertebrae in my upper spine. I can swim a mile again without stopping. He’s seems part magician.

Dr Chatwell is an amazing therapist! He is technically skilled, knowledgeable, and kind. I had back spasms that would not stop and he helped me to stop the spasms and got me going pain free in one visit. He also taught me how to keep them from returning. I highly recommend him.
