Patient Reviews
Sep 23, 2024
Dr. Michael Laird did both knee replacements and my Right hip replacement. He repaired my right rotator cuff, twice. I was very happy with his work and his staff at that time. My son saw him twice and was happy with his knee replacement He paid a co-payment of $100.00 for last two visits. We found there was no co-pay for either of the last two visits. We tried and tried to get the money returned with no success. It was pasted from place to place with no success and some staff was rude about it!
