Patient Comments (57)
This was my first visit and I was kind of nervous at first and he explained everything to me and I ended up getting a shot on both knees and it has alleviated the pain fantastically. He explained everything he was going to do and I can't say enough about going here and having him as a doctor. Thank you.
He always listens, explains options and values my input.
Staff and Dr were very professional and extremely helpful and kind.
Awesome experience with Dr. Skeehan. Answered all my questions, friendly (not dry like most surgeons). Great bed side manner. He made my knees feel like a million bucks! He will definitely be my surgeon when its time for my knee replacement.
Overall a great experience, check in , waiting time ,meeting with the doctor.
Got me in on time for the appointment.
He did my total knee surgery. He was professional, kind, always a pleasure to speak with him and his office staff are very pleasant. And I have referred him already to someone else and they have seen him and agreed with me.
My appointments are always on time. All of your physicians and related staff are amazing, caring and professional.
Overall experience was good. I am shocked that an orthopedic doctor is not on the ground level of a building. Even getting into the building could be difficult if you were by yourself. My brother is going for cardiac rehab, same thing. Not on the ground floor and the building is not friendly to those that might not be 100 percent
Everyone was excellent.

I love Dr. Skeehan. I'll say it again. He is the only one who understands what I have had done to my knees. That is huge for me. As I have had MDs who have no clue. He explains what he is doing & why we are doing. I will totally recommend him.
The new office is very hard to find. Signage would be helpful!!
