Dr Mihalich and staff are the Best! I first saw him a year ago for a second opinion on my ankle / foot Tendonitis. He explained to me the facts. He knew exactly why I was having the pain and what needed to be done. He told me I needed surgery. I was in denial at first, afraid of having surgery. He told me to go home and think about it. In less than a week I was making my surgery appointment.
It took a while to heel. Dr Mihalich gave me a approx recovery timeline and he was spot on! I am so pleased with Dr Mihalich and his staff and i would highly recommend them to anyone.

My name is Mike Zaccagni and I had Knee replacement surgery over 6 weeks ago. The surgery by Dr Caid went great and the rehab the same. Brain and Brooke were assigned to my workouts and they did a fantastic job getting my knee in shape. The work they put in helped me get full movement in my knee, in only 4 weeks. I just want to thank them, Mike Z.

Dr. Farjo has treated both my sons regarding orthopedic matters and me, for a broken arm! He is not only an excellent physician, but also an excellent communicator - which I find many doctors are lacking in. That is of the utmost importance in your treatment. Dr. Farjo is outstanding - I highly recommend him!

I was prepared for the visit in advance, filled out the paper work at home when, I had time to do it. I was seen at my appointment time, tests were done quickly, and everything was explained very well with time to answer my questions. Treatment was started and a plan of treatment was in place when I left. I would definitely recommend Advanced Orthopedics.

Prompt professional courteous service provided by nurses x-ray technicians and the Top Doc! I would highly recommend Advance Orthopedics to those in need of such care. In fact I have done so in the past and will continue. I would also like to include the professional Service offered by the office personnel!

I was referred by Brighton St Joseph emergency department to another orthopedic office in He same building. i went to that doctor and was very disappointed by quality of service. He would not listen and did not look at or touch my injury. I immediately left his office and went to Advanced Orthopedic Specialists. Staff there were professional and very helpful.
They found an opening and got me in quickly. I saw PA Mike Peters who was immediately much more concerned and helpful. He scheduled a CT and follow up at U of M. I was immediately diagnosed with a "Terrible Triad" injury of my left elbow. This is considered a trauma injury that should be treated immediately, If I had not gone across the hall to Advanced Orthopedic Specialists I would be still waiting for treatment as the prognosis for successful treatment was declining. FIRST CHOICE FOR ANR ORTHOPEDIC NEEDS SHOULD BE Advanced Orthopedic Specialists.

Staff is very helpful and seem to genuinely want your visits to lead you a full recovery. The PA's are very knowledgeable and answer all your questions thoroughly and completely. Dr Farjo is very experienced in his field and continues to expand his knowledge are new things come up. I would definitely recommend AOS to anyone I knew that needed an orthopedic surgeon.

I am so happy my primary care Dr referred me to this office. I previously was at another office and the Dr. came in and he did not even check me out. He only said two words to me and scribble on his note pad. So I canceled that appointment with him and was seen in this office by Dr. Fargo he took the time with me answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable with him. I feel I am in good hands with Dr. Farjo and his office team for my upcoming surgery. I would definitely recommend him!

Dr. Fargo it seems, he's a popular marvel in livingstone County. I was referred to him by my primary Dr. Any one I discussed my pending surgery with, knew him. They either knew someone who had surgery, or they themselves had Dr. Fargo for their own surgery. I also go to they're physical therapy. Everyone there are very knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend them. K.L.
