My two hip replacements couldn’t have gone more smooothly. Dr. Bascomb was friendly, personable, professional, and articulate. The procedure and the follow-up was explained well each time. Recovery was trouble-free. I would definitely recommend this doctor and this medical provider to anyone facing similar surgery. I am grateful for their skill and care.

Dr. Bascom & his Surgical did a full Hip replacement for me, at my 2nd recheck appointment they saw signs of infection, They sent me straight to the ER and with all the surgery rooms in use they kept me overnight monitoring the infection. As soon as the first Surgical room was available I was taken for a second surgery to change parts that the infection might affect. The Doctor and his team are the BEST!!

Dr Bascom provided very clear, concise recommendations for my care. I am very pleased that he is my orthopedic doctor, and feeling grateful also to have such a great team of professionals working with him at OCC. I have been at 0 weight bearing on my left leg now for several weeks as needed and recommended by Dr Bascom, to allow an impacted tibia plateau fracture to heal. Looking forward to my next appointment in 13 days to hopefully be cleared to start the next phase…Thank you Dr Bascom for being there when I needed you.
