Great Lakes Orthopaedic Center Reviews ( 250 )

  1. Dr Molonari was informative and is guiding me hopefully in the right direction for my lower back problems. I hope that I can get some positive solution for my lower back pain. Dr. Boyce was excellent.

  2. We have always had a good experience and we have been there A LOT in the last few months. Dr. Reineck genuinely cares and has been great throughout my husband’s 2 surgeries and recovery.

  3. I highly recommend Dr Galdes & Great Lakes Orthopaedic Center! The facility has a covered entrance for incremental weather. Check in is just inside the door & staff is friendly & helpful. No long waits between steps of the appointment …

  4. I called into talk to some to get information and staff was very rude to me on the phone. They told me I was interrupting them and they were going to transfer me because they can’t handle me.

  5. It took me three days and ten phone calls, while continuously being put on hold and transferred, to finally make one appointment. Was super disappointing and going through reception was a complete pain.

  6. I have had excellent therapy here with Paul Larson. As a retired therapist myself, I researched clinics and found that Paul was whom had learned the same skills I had during my career. Now I depressedly required them myself!! Thank heaven for Paul!!!

  7. Had a great experience. Dr. Wiersma was my surgeon I would highly recommend him and his team. He works closely with his patients and I feel I had a quicker recovery. Thank you.

  8. Had a great experience here – not something I expected to say about getting a full leg cast for a two year old! They saw us promptly and were exceptionally kind and accommodating for my son.

  9. Called the office to get into see the new orthopedic surgeon. Had to call three times before an appointment was made told that I need surgery to repair my foot and now I have to wait due to the incompetence of the scheduling staff. …

  10. The doctors are okay. But the front desk staff is a nightmare to try and get anything accomplished. They can’t keep an appointment without canceling it at least once and they have no idea how to do paperwork… overall a very frustrating experience would never go there again!

  11. Watch out for what they do, especially when they say nothing is wrong with you, and there is, always get another opinion from a different place. I went here and Dr Peter’s told me that nothing was wrong with my knees, but yet I knew better, …

  12. Up most respect for my Doctor, Doctor Thomas O’Hagan and his staff. Had the right knee replaced 6/17/2016 and going to have my left knee replaced 6/16/2017. It is nice to realize that you do not have to be in constant pain. Thank you Doctor O’Hagan It is always a good experience at this office

  13. If you are struggling with lower back pain in Traverse City, you should go see Dr. Prusick. Dr. O’Hagan referred me to him. What a nice guy group of Doctors GLOC has. Dr. Prusick got me fixed up and now about 5 weeks out, im pain free. Just …

  14. Dr O’Hagan, Amy Kudary and nurse Mary provide exceptional care! We’ve been at this practice with two kids for sports injuries…ACL repair and surgery for broken collar bone. We have not one complaint. They are thorough, compassionate and professional. Would definitely recommend this practice.

  15. Never saw a doctor yet they requested and required additional XRays and the a CT scan. I requested to see an MD and they ignored my request. Medicare patients seemed to be treated differently due to charges? I received conflicting …

  16. Big thanks to Dr. O’Hagan and Paul in PT! I had a bucket tear in my meniscus and tore my ACL for the second time, the support and care from the whole facility is amazing and this go around was much easier. I also got a chance to test out my …

  17. I would highly recommend GLOC and especially Dr. Ohagen! He has went above and beyond helping me after my snowmobile accident 2.1.2020. I had a complete tear of my MCL and my ACL that requires 2 surgeries. After my 1st surgery he called me …

  18. I had an appointment to pick up a brace at 2 p.m. and I got there early. I have had to wait over 45 minutes just to pick up a brace. I tried explaining that I had an appointment elsewhere that I could not be late to, but that did not lessen my wait time in the slightest. I would not recommend getting a brace from Great Lakes Orthopaedics

  19. Dr. Kerr was ever so professional and extremely patient with me during my ACL and Mencius surgery back in 2016. My surgery and recovery took almost to the date, 2 years. I was able to ski a ton this past ski season without a brace. …

  20. Both my husband and I have received quality care by caring friendly people. After seeing first hand the care my husband received I didn’t think twice about going there for myself!

  21. Negative review purged….poor results after 2 surgeries needing revisions at Mayo Clinic. Dr Groseclose, Dr McGraw, and Dr Galdes all said I was fine, parts were fine-only to learn the opposite was true after Mayo Clinic‘s chair of …

  22. I am very pleased with the whole operation from Dr. O’hagan who worked on my shoulder to nurse Mary who did an outstanding job. Her number one concern was my quality of care and it was outstanding. When Mary was tied up another would step …

  23. The surgeons and staff at GLOC are thorough, and organized. Wait times are usually minimal and X-ray available on site. As a former surgical nurse and hospital director, I would not hesitate to recommend this office or the surgeons to any friends or family.

  24. I had the worst experience here I had to see doctor Boyce for my knee. I ended up getting surgery but what he told me he was going to put in my leg and what he actually put in me were not the same. He was very rude when I went for my …

  25. Always enjoy seeing Dr. Chuinard, cares about his patients and the best in his field, the nurses and office staff are very courteous and professional also!

  26. Dr. O’Hagan was my surgeon. I highly recommended him. He was friendly and took the time to answer my questions and educate me on my treatment. The wait time was minimal. He has a great assistant named Mary. Very happy overall with this practice

  27. I have worked with 3 doctors there, Dr. Bruder, Dr. Prusick and Dr. McGraw. All three, and their personal nurses were outstanding. They really cared about me and my health. They were open and honest with me. There is no other place I would go.

  28. See some bad reviews here which I don’t understand. I’ve had a long history of health problems and seen many surgeons. This is one of the best Ortho clinics in Michigan. Been seeing Dr Chinaurd and he has been wonderful. I’m disabled …

  29. The staff and Dr. Wiersma were extremely informative and friendly. First time at the office for knee issues and what a great experience it was, considering I was a bit nervous. Would highly recommend for any orthopedic issues.

  30. Amazing experience, after motorcycle accident, broken collarbone and surgery, Dr. Boyce was super helpful and got me back working within a week of surgery. After 6 weeks, I’m already in PT. At my last appointment, they had me in and out …

  31. The best orthopedist in Michigan is on staff at Great Lakes Orthopaedic – Dr. Andrew S. Boyce. That man can fix, replace, and/or repair anything. He is a miracle worker and we recommend him to everyone we know

  32. Doctors and staff were fine. Billing was terrible. I was incorrectly billed. Unfortunately I realized this after I paid the first bill. I called to have the issue corrected and I was told they would get back to me. They never did. I called …

  33. I have been treated respectfully and given helpful advise and information. Dr. Boyce and the other staff members with whom I’ve interacted have been very professional. I’ve been effectively treated for knee pain for a year. I’ll be …

  34. Dr Groseclose an awesome Dr. I would of my foot if it wasn’t for him.. I just love this man. Takes time with you. Answers all questions that you ask all around awesome guy/doctor

  35. I wouldn’t recommend seeing Dr. Reichard. I felt like I was patient number 6 and not heard as Kayla. I felt like he didn’t have my best interest. I got into a car accident 3 years ago, I went to him with sprained ankle and now here iam …

  36. Since the day I got referred to G.L.O.C., I’ve had nothing but a fantastic experience. Recently had a 4th surgery on my shoulder and I should have been referred to Dr Reineck/G.L.O.C./Munson Health from the very first! It’s always been hard …
