Dr. Lifrak and Joan Wildenhain are the most professional and knowledgeable people I have dealt with. My knee replacement they did last year was absolutely perfect Not a drop of pain since I left Charlton Hospital. No pain, stiffness or swelling to this day.They are absolutely the best in their field and I have been recommending them to anyone that tells me they have a bad kneeI can't say enough good things about them and what they did for me
Had a informational talk, tests were given and appointments need scheduled
After the X-ray and the follow-up with the NP was completed, she took the time to have the doctor speak with me to complete the visit. Nice touch.
The Whole Staff was great. Very Professional, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Always on time
I am a new patient to SC Health coming from Boston and retiring to Bristol, RI.The care I have received has been outstanding.Everyone I have met with have been very intelligent, competent and extremely kind and compassionate.Many thanks.

Joan is great!!!
It was a like less than a five minute visit, which I understand, but it was a long drive for what it was, and I think it could have been a televisit.
The office is friendly and professional. I was seen on time and Joanu00A0is great.
Dr Lifrak and his staff are the best.
Everyone I dealt with was professional and caring. They were understanding of my questions and concerns and the encouragement to continue with all the aftercare I have been doing. This office is the best. I have been to both the Swansea and the Dartmouth office and the care and service is amazing.
The parking lot was treacherous, icy. But everyone on the inside of the building was great.
Everything was clearly explained. I was part of decisions, rather than being told what to do.
All were exceptional, professional, & listened to what I had to say.
Joan is always attentive and genuinely cares about you.

Got it right
Joan was very informative and explained things in layman terms even though I am an RN which she didn't know so it makes it very easy for someone to understand as many times people are too nervous to ask questions and leave not understanding what was being said
Joan is outstanding. She is up to date on all the current research. She listens to my concerns and is supportive of me in my health journey.
Please return my provia shot back to the Swansea facility and not the infusion center in Fall River
