Patient Reviews

“First of all, kudos to Dr. Todd Murphy for the excellent surgery procedure. Next, kudos to the excellent physical therapists and their treatment. Intense at times, but always thinking about the patients' level of pain. The whole staff were beautiful in their attitudes and thoughts. Always very friendly and caring.”

“After doctoring with Dr. Kreis for 38 years, I was a bit apprehensive choosing a new physician. Within minutes of meeting with Dr. Murphy, my confidence in Orthopedic Associates of Port Huron returned. Dr. Murphy was very thorough in explaining my condition and took time to discuss my concerns. When the timing is right, I will be returning to Dr. Murphy for my joint replacement.”

“Very pleased with every aspect of OA. Dr. Scott Heithoff did an awesome job on my hip. I ditched the cane in 2 weeks and was doing leg presses at the gym I belong to in 5 weeks. I've referred Dr. Scott to many people already. Thank you for an awesome experience.”

“Dr. Pasia, a very caring doctor, chose a treatment for me that was not invasive rather than a surgical procedure, which might have been confining.”

“Dr. Makim has helped me thru tough times into wonderful times by correctional surgery and recovery. He's a "win-win doctor and has an A+ team and staff. I've been very blessed by the way they changed my life physically of no function of my right hip on a Monday and having a total hip replacement and playing drums in Church the following Sunday.”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Sciotti's for over 12 years for low back pain & spinal stenosis. He is wonderful. I believe without his care, I would in all likelihood not be as independent as I am. At 71, I continue to work part-time and go about my daily life without any adaptive devices. His staff are also wonderful!!! Thanks to all of you, I have kept my freedom!!!”

“Dr. Heitoff has been treating my knee and really listened and was willing to discuss my treatment options. We finally decided to have a total knee replacement. The surgery went great and I realized right after I had it that the knee bones from my arthritis didn't hurt anymore, which is fantastic! Now I am going to physical therapy at Orthopedic Associates and the therapists and staff are really helping me heal and strengthen my knee and leg. I'm getting around better than I thought I would a month after my surgery. I would highly recommend seeking treatment there.”

“On my first consultation with Dr. Makim, he thoroughly went over my shoulder MRI with me so I could see and understand what was causing my pain and lack of strength from my injury. What impressed me was the fact that although he could have set me up for surgery to repair the damage, he offered me another option which was physical therapy. He felt that if I worked hard at it, and strengthened the muscles in the shoulder area, I might be able to manage my pain and strengthen the shoulder so I could enjoy my active lifestyle without having to go through surgery, and the time needed to recover from that. I can honestly say that I was skeptical at first, but after my first session with the therapist, I noticed the pain starting to subside, and I was able to sleep without discomfort, something I could not do without medication. Monthly checkups with the doctor showed progress and after three months of three days a week therapy, we both made the decision that surgery was not needed and I was pretty much able to do what I wanted as far as physical activity. Therapists, Donna and Karen were very interested in my progress and helped me through every step of my rehabilitation. The staff were always very glad to see me and we became very acquainted with each other during the process. They are a team in every aspect of the patients care. While I would be working out in the gym, I noticed that every patient there was treated with dignity and respect, no matter what age, or physical handicap they were dealing with. The Techs that work there are very friendly, courteous and helpful with all of the patients. I am very satisfied with the care I received from both the Doctor and the Therapists at Orthopedic Associates and have recommended them to others that experience similar physical impairments. I really understand how they are rated the number one Physical Therapy group in the state!”

“One year ago I was laying on my floor face down for five weeks. Had a consultation with Dr. Sciotti and he recommended a spinal epidural. I was very skeptical about the procedure because I had heard from several resources it probably wouldn't work. I had the procedure on July 9th, 2015 and just went back for a second procedure on February 9th, 7 months later. If you've ever had Sciatica you will understand what a miracle 7 months with no pain is. Couldn't be happier nor more grateful for Dr. Sciotti and his staff helping me out. No promises were ever made but they clearly try to help people avoid back surgery and promote good health.”

“Wonderful. He's compassionate, trustworthy, and has an excellent bedside manner. He helped ease my fears and helped me to overcome my injuries quickly and safely. He took the time to explain each test, X-ray, and to discuss what the plan of care was with each discipline and he coordinated his care thoroughly in a timely manner. As a home care registered nurse, I recommend his care and this company to each of my clients seeking orthopedic evaluation and treatments.”
