Patient Stories

Saw Amanda again for a continuing issue. She was so professional and kind and really took time to listen to my concerns. And very punctual which shows respect for other people’s time. That’s my favorite part. All the support staff we also incredibly kind and professional. I’ve also seen Dr. Thomas in the past who is equally a 5-star physician. Would highly recommend anyone in this practice. They’re a class-act.

My experience with Community Orthopedic Group, Dr. Adamson and PA Charles could not have been better. I am thrilled with this and the results from my surgery. Throughout the six month process, I never had to wait more than fifteen minutes for an appointment. The medical staff as well as the supporting office staff were always 100% professional, compassionate, capable, and best of all, happy! It was an excellent experience, with excellent results to my well-being.

Dr. Thomas is awesome. He cares and takes his time to explain the issues, plus he cares about the patient as a whole. He's the best.

All staff, especially the doctors and physician assistance are great. They are all very professional, very courteous, friendly and explain things very well. I have had nothing but excellent results For all of my treatments.

I have been treated by Dr. Hanjan for a while and have been very pleased with his performance and intelligence. Dr. Hanjan is extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring. He takes his time to diagnose the problem and finds the most effective solution possible. He is not only an excellent doctor, but also a great human being, and his staff is very friendly and caring!

Dr. Evangelista is terrific .. patient, great listener, and superb"bedside manner." Highly recommended.

I was extremely happy with Dr. Gardner and his staff. Very efficient and extremely competent. Diagnosed and successfully treated at the same appointment.

Very, very pleased with this facility, overall care and Dr. Gardner. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to get an appointment very quickly for a chronic Achilles issue. Dr. Gardner took his time, had new Xrays done and discussed options. We decided to go back to the basics and see if that helps to alleviate my issue. I can't say enough good things about the entire experience so far - all of the staff I interacted with were great. Highly recommend!

I took my mom Hoa Pham there to see Dr. Adamson. It was a great experience and how amazing Dr. Adamson and his staff. We would definitely recommend this place. Very professional.

Dr. Burdi recently treated my wife who had fallen and suffered a fractured vertebra. We found him to be thorough and caring in the supervision of her recovery. He explained various options and recommended a non-surgical treatment program which resulted in rapid and full recovery. We will consult him for any future needs.

just had knee surgery,doctor thomas and his staff were great

I saw Dr. Adamson yesterday for a follow up visit on my knee. He diagnosed the issue & explained to me a Bakers cyst is extremely painful when it burst. I'm happy now that I can resume my daily activities knowing i'll probably have minor issues for a while which are normal. Dr. Adamson is an outstanding doctor/surgeon.

I've been under orthopedic treatment since early childhood football injuries to my knees in the early 1970's. While my father was an MD, I've always had best possible medical care but over the past 23 years since I began treatment at COMG, I must say they are the best orthopedic care I've ever had. 5-6 years ago I sustained a ruptured shoulder but fly back from Phoenix for Dr. Adamson's attention - so glad I did. In 11/19, I had a rt knee replacement by Dr. Adamson. Same results. Quick recovery, minimal pain, best care I've ever had.

Very, very pleased with this facility, overall care and Dr. Gardner. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to get an appointment very quickly for a chronic Achilles issue. Dr. Gardner took his time, had new Xrays done and discussed options. We decided to go back to the basics and see if that helps to alleviate my issue. I can't say enough good things about the entire experience so far - all of the staff I interacted with were great. Highly recommend!

Great group of doctors, you can’t go wrong this group. Have recommended them to family and friends.

I am posting this for my husband Steve. Dr. Adamson is a very good and caring doctor. He really listens to his patients and shows that he cares about them. My husband first went to see Dr. Adamson after his primary care physician suggested he see a specialist when his knee pain was not subsiding after several months since the initial onset. Dr. Adamson physically checked my husband's knee and listened carefully to my husband's story as to how the injury ocurred. He then ordered an MRI and was able to identify that my husband had an insufficiency fracture and a slightly torn meniscus. Dr. Adamson is very conservative and not eager to perform surgery unless necessary. He monitored my husband's condition for a little over half a year. Only when we all became convinced that the healing of the insufficiency fracture, which often heal on their own, had plateaued and was no longer improving, did we decide on surgery. Every step of the way, Dr. Adamson carefully explained the options and the possible outcomes. The outpatient arthroscopic surgery went incredibly smooth. My husband experienced relatively little pain and only needed to take Tylenol for about a week. Dr. Adamson filled the insufficiency fracture with calcium phosphate and he trimmed the minor meniscus tear. The four small incisions completely healed without leaving any scars. My husband's knee is now very sound and he once again has full confidence going up and down stairs, etc. Dr. Adamson believes that this surgery will most likely assure that my husband will not need an artificial knee sometime in the future. You cannot go wrong seeing Dr. Adamson at Community Orthopedic Medical Group.

What a fantastic facility. They were able to get me in just a few days after I called for an appointment, which I found most unusual and refreshing. The entire staff was kind and helpful, even giving me detailed directions as the location is a bit difficult to locate from normal traffic. Everyone from Celia at the front desk, to the medical assistant, to the X-ray tech and finally to the knowledgeable yet approachable, Doctor Gardner was exceptional. The office was clean and efficient. I hate to wish an orthopedic issue on anyone, but if you find yourself with one I highly recommend Community orthopedic.

Dr. Burdi recently treated my wife who had fallen and suffered a fractured vertebra. We found him to be thorough and caring in the supervision of her recovery. He explained various options and recommended a non-surgical treatment program which resulted in rapid and full recovery. We will consult him for any future needs.

From an accident that left my lower leg in 13 pieces and a broken collarbone to two broken wrists, to a knee replacement and help with arthritis, I would never go anywhere else. The doctors are the best and the staff is everything you could want in a medical situation. I would and have recommended this group to friends and anyone I've met looking for an orthopedic group.

Dr Marandola is top notch in my book. He has tended to my wife's foot and knee problems for a few years,ending with a total knee replacement in May. She is doing great and is walking all over Kentucky on vacation now His expertise and bedside manner make you very comfortable. Highly recommend him and his PA's Scott and Jason.

I have been treated by Dr. Hanjan for a while and have been very pleased with his performance and intelligence. Dr. Hanjan is extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring. He takes his time to diagnose the problem and finds the most effective solution possible. He is not only an excellent doctor, but also a great human being, and his staff is very friendly and caring!

This is my second surgery with Dr. Marandola. I would not want anyone else because he IS the best. This medical group is the best and extremely professional. I would highly recommend Community Ortho. I work out in the gym 5 days a week and use free weights. Both times, I have come back each time 95 percent. I know guys with same surgery and at most have 60 percent success rate!!

I have been seeing Dr. Thomas and Amanda off and on for the arthritis in my knees. They are both very good at explaining what is needed and neither one have tried to "sell" a procedure. When the cortisone shots and synvisc shots no longer worked an mri was done to see the deeper problem. Next was the scope and cleaning of the right knee joint. The staff was very friendly and attentative. I was home in a couple of hours with very little pain. Hopefully this will solve my knee issue, but if it doesn't I will not hesitate to have Dr. Thomas do a full replacement.

Within the past Three years I have had two Major surgery's. A left Shoulder Replacement, and A Partial Left Knee Replacement. Both Surgery's were done by the same Doctor. Doctor Marandola, M.D. at Community Orthopedic Medical Group. I am 76 years old and I am a avid Water Skier, and Mountain Bike Rider. With having either of these surgery's I was very concerned that I may be told both your Water Skiing and Mountain Bike Riding days are Over. If that where the case I would have ignored it and done my physical therapy for as long as allowed and tried to press on with my two favorite Sports. After the completion of each surgery Dr. Marandola told me, it may take some time but if you listen to your Physical Therapist I believe you will be just fine. He said you have got two live, and your the only one that can make that happen if your willing to work hard exercising and rebuilding Shoulder ( after my Left Shoulder Replacement) and he told me the same after My Left Partial Knee Replacement.). Not the case with my Two first Physical Therapist. Both of them told me Water skiing is over and I doubt you will ever be able to do the Mountain Bike riding again. Maybe a street Bike Level ground, and no climbing steep hills over rocks or boulders. Very concerned with what I was told I started asking around and trying to find another good PT Therapist. I had an appointment with Dr. Marandola and he said lets give Calif. Rehab a try. This was after my First operation, The Left shoulder replacement. It had been about 3 to 4 months after the initial operation and he said my shoulder was doing very well but that it is going to take time. DON'T GIVE UP.

I've been treating with various physicians at Community Orthopedic Medical Group since 1999. I love that most of he doctors specialize, dividing the practice literally by which part of my body needed attention. I've used one physician for back surgery, another for hand surgery, and another when I broke a few toes. Having a physician that specializes on specific parts of the body has I believe provided me with the best of the best in times of need. Who can know everything about everything? This is why I have, and will continue to use Community Orthopedic Medical Group for my Orthopedic needs. Additionally, my husband has had hand, knee and rotator cuff surgeries using COMG as well with equally excellent outcomes.

Dr. Burdi and office staff were very helpful and concerned about my lower back problem. Doctor tried several different procedures, and left it up to me whether or not I wanted to have surgery. At this time, I decided against surgery and decided to have physical therapy. I may still have to have surgery, but I'm determined to try a different route. To be continued

I recently underwent a total hip replacement by Dr. Thomas. This was the most professional procedure I've had, from the anesthesiologist to the post surgical care. This team is truly miracle workers. In only four weeks my pain is gone and I am walking like a young man again.i

Dr. Tocci helped relieve pain from a previous surgery and was honest in telling me it might not be perfect but would help. It has and is much better than it was. He doesn't rush you and listens. He, Charles and his staff are great and would highly recommend them.
