Testimonials

Dr. Papilion, I want to thank you so much for the absolute outstanding care you have provided me from day one. It really means a lot.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you Dr. Papilion for the great ACL replacement. I’m so excited to finally be on the road to recovery after 2 painful years! You and your staff have been so great throughout the process and I will definitely refer my friends and colleagues to your practice!

Unfortunately I’ve had to use the expertise of Dr. Papilion more times than I like. He has done three surgeries and will do his fourth in a few weeks. His care and consideration of all my needs has been exceptional and he would certainly be the individual I would recommend to anyone needing his type of surgical skills. He and his staff truly seem to care about me as an individual.

Thank you Dr. Papilion. I was apprehensive and nervous about my first surgical procedure, but you and your staff made me comfortable and answered all my questions, putting all my concerns to rest. I couldn’t be more grateful to Dr. Papilion and his medical staff for the exemplary care they’ve taken of me!
