Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Day review
Over the years I had a meniscus tear repaired and my wife who had arthritic issues had both knees and hips replaced. Dr Day is excellent in all respects and we hold her in the highest regard.

Dr Day did a hip replacement on my wife back in 2009 she had problems right from the beginning. Her leg was warm never got better. She went back a few times and was told. There was nothing they could do. The problems lasted almost 2 years her right foot was appx 20/0 rotated to the right her leg was close to 1” longer We finally ended up at OAM Dr Galloday finally took care of all the issues. We feel This was a hack job

Dr. Day gave me my life back when she replaced my two worn out hips and two worn out knees when other doctors would not do it for me because of complications. I was a very complicated case but she make sure that I have the correct medical care I deserved. I cannot thank her enough! Thank you Doctor day

Dr. Day replaced both of my knees over 10 years ago. I was delighted to feel so much better, sorry that I waited so long, and grateful that there have been no knee problems since. Her kindness and directness impressed me, from the way she focused directly on me at my first appointment to her kind manner toward me just before surgery. The second time was even better. She made certain adjustments in both surgery and rehab. My recovery was easier. I continue to recommend her.

I had both knees replaced in the fall of 2006, one on a Wednesday and one on the following Friday. It changed my world. Zero problems since. Great doctor.

My experience with Dr.Day is her and her staff will tell you what they think you should hear but don't listen.I let this Doctor talk me into getting BOTH knees replaced at the same time...I kept complaining about my left knee and they would not listen..Her response was its the way your walking.. Yeah because YOU made me walk this way..after 4 long years if pain and falling I was referred to a new surgeon who removed the old replacement that was loose and put a new one in and what a difference.

I've known Dr Day for a long time. She radiates intelligence and professionalism on a daily basis. Wonderful bedside manner and has a way of making a patient (me) not so nervous. She is an excellent surgeon and I highly recommend her services if ever needed! Dr Day is %100 the real deal!
