Dr. Caulfield and his team are wonderful. Helpful, caring and absolutely competent. Each is a key element of making the operation and recovery of a major body trauma successful.

Johanna K.

After no success with rehab, was referred to Dr Canfield who immediately made a partial assessment, gave me a bursitis shot which slightly reduced my pain and ordered an additional MRI for follow up. Even though we haven’t solved the mystery yet, I am confident I am in the best possible hands. Thanks, doc!

marty S.

Once again I went skipping down the hall after our visit. I was able to take a short walk and shopping today without pain. You are the best!!

Susie P.

I highly recommend Dr. Ryan Caufield at Orthopedics Associates. He genuinely cares about each of his patients. He performed a hip replacement on me 6 years ago and I had a very non eventful, speedy recovery. He also did a total knee replacement 2 years ago and again, I had a very speedy recovery. Several of my friends have also gone to Dr. Canfield and their surgeries also were uneventful with fast recoveries. The other doctors in this practice are amazing also.

JEFFREY G.

Thank you Dr for treating my hip. Virtually pain free in 24hrs. Your the best. Now I can sleep for 3 or 4 months!! 🙏

Linden S.

Kind caring the best!

Diane T.

As I nwas no longer in any pain, my main reason for seeing Dr. Caufield was to hear my MRI results, just to know what the injury to my knee was. I appreciated his patience with explaining everything to me and his encouragement to call any time I had a concern, It was very comforting to be in his care!
