Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

I have had both hip and knee surgery done by Dr. Sutherland and am very satisfied. Went in for my yearly check up and was concerned about groin pain on the other side. Hip xrayed looked good. I would recommend him to anyone
