  • “Dr. Marinello was friendly and helpful, he was confident and knew just what to look for with my husband’s injury. He answered our questions, gave suggestions & showed us the x-rays. We liked him very much! Barb the x-ray tech was extremely competent and thorough. Amanda the nurse was very nice also! We feel very fortunate to have The Bone & Joint so close to our home, with such experienced and dedicated doctors. We have been patients of several in practice!”

  • “Dr. Harbin replaced my sister's hips (that's right, plural!), and when I decided to seek a second opinion on my hip, I did not hesitate to contact The Bone & Joint Center and request an appointment. When you visit the office, you might notice that Dr. Harbin's picture is not on display; he is a well-kept secret, and my sister and I fondly refer to him as "our family physician." I received an appointment within two weeks of calling the office, and when I decided to go ahead with the procedure, it was scheduled within two months. This may be attributed to it approaching summer time, but I'm not sure. I knew what to expect, and Dr. Harbin kept telling me that everyone responds differently to surgery, etc. I chose AMC for the operation and was treated with honesty and courtesy throughout the entire process - registration, pre-op, surgical suite, recovery and ortho floor. Anne Ryan, Dr. Harbin's nurse/assistant, has been responsive to questions that have arisen and has helped make my office visits relaxed, but informative. What a great team they make! I would also add that there were some initial problems with my insurance, and The Bone & Joint Center business office was very knowledgeable and quickly cleared up the confusion.”

  • “I have only good things to say about Dr. Harbin and his staff. Thanks to Dr. Harbin's surgical skills, I underwent a double hip replacement and was walking unassisted within a week. I was driving after just two weeks, and resumed nearly regular activity within a month. I began physical therapy at The Bone & Joint Center. Six days after surgery, and it has also been a big help. I would highly recommend Dr. Harbin to all those in need of orthopedic surgery.”

  • “Dr. Harbin listened to my concerns and after an assessment based on x-rays and the information that I gave him offered the options available before recommending a treatment based on his experience. I am sure that many doctors would have done the same but I found Dr. Harbin to be both pleasant and straightforward in his approach, and as long as Dr. Harbin is an option I would not consider any other should I need similar surgery in the future. Five out of Five Stars”

  • “I have had only positive experiences with Dr. Harbin. He provides professional advice whether positive or negative. He is thorough and does not jump right into surgery. However, once every other avenue is exhausted he will explore that option. I have already referred friends to him.”

Dr. Flaherty took the time to thoroughly explain test results and treatment options. The practice is very comprehensive. I was able to see another doctor the same day, to administer the guided cortisone shot I needed. ”

  • “On Wednesday I damaged my knee though I was not quite sure how bad. When I woke the following day I decided a trip to the Emergency room was warranted . They did their standard test only to tell me what I already knew to be fact . There was no break. So they referred me to a provider I had used previously. After calling this provider and finding out it would be a week before I could be seen. Immense frustration set in. While talking with a friend about my situation they suggested that I call your office. Upon calling your office I was given an appointment later that very day. When I arrived, I had a short wait and was escorted to a room where after an examination it was determined I had torn my Meniscus. The doctor took great care and began treatment immediately. Had I not received the care and treatment I did who knows what further damage I could have done waiting a week to see the provider the hospital suggested. Thank you so much. ”

  • “I brought my 13-year-old son to the Urgent Care facility on Sunday morning. He had Osgood Schlatter in both knees and was initially diagnosed with no treatment plan at another office in May. I felt Dr. Roberts provided a thorough, friendly, and informative examination. I also thought he expressed understanding for what my son was going through and provided us with an action plan to aid the recuperation process hopefully. I felt a bit of relief and was pleased I went to the Bone and Joint Urgent Care. I look forward to our follow up an appointment with the doctor he referred us to that specializes in this type of injury.”
