Dr Caufield came highly recommended to me and that recommendation was spot on. Surgery went really well, and Dr Caufield has been actively engaged every step of the way on my recovery. His team is as professional and engaging as he is and any time I’ve had a question or a concern it’s been addressed quickly and thoroughly.

Dr. Caufield, Rachelle Poss PA-C and the staff went above and beyond pre-op and post-op care for a knee replacement. I'm 5 months out and I feel awesome. I don't even know that I had a knee replacement. It feels so natural. I love it!!! Thank you
