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!!

I saw Dr. Bascom for an orthopedic issue last year. It was treated with excellent results. I revisited Dr. Bascom recently for a similar ailment. The entire staff is welcoming and thorough. Dr. Bascom listens and answers and and all questions. Would recommend Dr. Bascom and staff. Maryanne N.

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.
