Dr. Canfield explained what would take place during my hip replacement. Together we decided to change the place and date of the surgery just in case there were complications. I’m glad we did. Michael really knows his stuff. He is a very skilled and professional surgeon. If I am ever in need of further orthopedic surgery I most certainly will not hesitate to see him again. A+++

He is very thorough…. He has to try certain things before any surgery is to take place. Like physical therapy then a shot then surgery if needed.i got frustrated in the process but it wasn’t his fault and he is a excellent doctor in my opinion. He is very at explaining the procedure and I trust him with my hip. He also told me I had to lose some weight and he is right. 5 stars from me and would recommend him.
