Dr. Peabody and his staff are professional, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and kind. They are always on time for my appointments, I never have to wait. And when I'm early, I go right in for x-rays with no problem. Dr. Peabody always explains the results of tests thoroughly where I can not only understand, but ask questions. If Dr. Peabody and staff are a reflection of the department, I would definitely recommend Orthopaedic Surgery to others.
