Patient Testimonials

Apr-2024
“Extremely satisfied with the whole Proliance experience. I felt very Informed from the first visit through the surgery day and beyond. Excellent surgical packet explaining everything I could imagine asking and more. Reminder emails & texts every step of the way. I felt well informed about what is normal and what to be concerned about. Knee replacement is a big surgery and the confidence I got from being treated with respect and kindness I know is helping with the healing process.”

Apr-2024
“I was very pleased with all the care providers that were assigned to me. I felt seen and heard and understood. I didn’t feel like I was “just” another face. Really grateful for everyone involved.”

Apr-2024
“I could tell their praises for hours. I was amazed as to the extent that Proliance goes through to be sure that customer care is one of its highest priorities. Proliance Made every effort to be sure that it was not made up of various individual departments but rather one solid and well interrogated unit designed to serve the patient with the highest standards for the highest outcome. Needless to say, I was extremely impressed with everyone from pre-op to admissions to receptions to nursing, to anesthesiologist, to post – op care and my surgeon, Dr. Alton.”

Apr-2024
“Everyone from the moment we walked in we generous and kind. I was taken to a room where I was helped with getting ready for my surgery, made me feel at home and cared for. To all the staff including Dr Merritt who did my surgery were efficient, kind and caring and I will recommend you all to everyone I know.”

Apr-2024
