I went to this dr for an injury of my ankle. My appointment was on time. The dr was professional…read moreand recommended a boot for the injury . I was given a 2 week follow up , again on time and seen by the same Dr Johnson . I was reexamined and he checked out the injury , flexing and moving my ankle in different positions. and actually demonstrated exercises to help stretch out my foot and ankle. I no longer need appointments as I can walk but just need to stretch and wear air cast if needed for stability. So thankful not a serious issue. If you need an orthopedic Dr check out Dr Lawrence Johnson.

It is too bad that I could not give zero stars. I went in on a Thursday afternoon after being told…read moreby Lawrence General Hospital that I didn't have a broken foot instead of head arthritis. I saw Dr. Amin. She looked at my foot, probably took about five minutes with me and sent a prescription to my local CVS and told me to pick it up and come back in 10 days. That afternoon CVS contacted me saying they could not fill that prescription but they were contacting the doctor for a different prescrition. Friday morning I called tried to talk with the doctor and was told she was off that day. I finally got a callback from the office - not the doctor Tuesday afternoon and they said well just pick up the over-the-counter product. I told him I was very dissatisfied and wanted to speak with the doctor. I canceled my follow up appointment for obvious reasons and I have yet to hear from the doctor. Spent about eight weeks. I told him to do not dare send me a bill for their lack of services. today I got a bill copayment $10. They apparently sent it into the insurance company for the major portion of bill and have been paid or will be paid by them. Very very dissatisfied would not recommend us to a dog.

I recommend the surgeons at Orthopedic Associated of North Chelmsford, MA. As a retired RN with…read moreO.R. experience, I tend to be very critical of surgeons. Since 2019, I've had several procedures to alleviate the pain of osteoarthritis. First, a left rotator cuff repair then, in the fall, a left knee replacement, by Dr. Scott Sigman. High praise for him and his team. I had minimal post op pain and was walking the day of surgery. Several years later I had the pleasure of bilateral hip replacements, 1 yr apart, by Dr. Stephen Designa. Again, minimal post op discomfort and, with physical therapy, return to normal with no more pain. And such tiny incisions--I can barely see them! Thank you and bless you, Dr. Designa. Now, in 2026 I'm back for more magic, seeing Dr. Howard Wu for bilateral shoulder arthritis . He is urging me to have the surgeries, first the left which is giving me the most discomfort and limited range of motion, then, after a time, the right. But, since I'm elderly and also caring for my disabled husband, I've been putting it off. He's right,of course, I need them ,and I'm not afraid but he listens to me and, I think, understands. It's comforting to know that, when I'm ready, he'll do his best to give me real golden years. We baby boomers are lucky. Modern technology and talented surgeons. Replace the old, worn out joints and we'll feel better. Maria S, Lowell, MA August 2026

Dr. Steven Alter never denied my requests for out-of-work notes, and I appreciate that. I did not…read morehave surgery with him, so I can't comment on his surgical skills or outcomes. From my experience, I felt his bedside manner could be better. I often left feeling like my injury and concerns were being minimized and that I wasn't being fully heard. My impression is that he has a very direct, surgeon-focused approach, which may work well for some patients but wasn't the best fit for me. I can't say he's a bad doctor. However, beyond providing me with time off from work, I don't feel much was done to fully evaluate all of my complaints. For example, I never received comprehensive strength testing for the various issues I reported. One thing that also concerned me was that the office seemed to use a standard template in the medical notes. Some of the statements about my care did not accurately reflect what occurred during my visits, which I found frustrating. I've also spoken with three other people who were not particularly happy with their experiences when I mentioned Dr. Alter. Of course, that's anecdotal, and it doesn't mean he isn't an excellent surgeon. This review is simply my personal experience as a patient. I will say Amanda the medical receptionist was great, every request I asked for, she promptly responded to me with the information I needed.

I had a problem come up with my foot seemingly out of nowhere and they were able to get me in for an appointment within a few days. The office is updated and clean, the staff were all down to earth and professional. Dr. Dalrymple was able to quickly resolve my issue for me and made some footwear recommendations to help with preventing another flare up. I've since received the new items based on her recommendations and they're some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'll likely be going back to look at orthotics going forward soon, but had an all around great experience at this office and would definitely recommend going in.

It's hard to believe that someone who is supposed to be in care for others could be like this. But…read moreit is true. I was also there and experienced a lot of what was said in the other reviews. I was trying to forget about the experience until the bill for 30 min wait and a 5-10 min visit showed up. I knew in minute one that this was not going to be good. I wanted to walk out, but aggressive sales tactics made me have to say I think we are done now. The bill is the normal $50 for co pay and technically I have to pay it I guess, but feel like it was a life lesson that I wont repeat. I feel bad for the insurance company that they have to pay the amount she charges. Staff at front desk mimicked her uncaring cold treatment of patients

I took my son in for an ingrown toenail procedure to which the doctor did a great job. Paid over…read more$500 for the procedure and were told to return a few weeks later for a checkup so we did. The doctor spent an entire 2 minutes looking at the toe and telling us all was well and then a few weeks later we get hit with another bill for $180 for an office visit. Now I don't have a medical license but I can tell when something is healing properly so the follow-up appt was certainly not necessary, especially when we weren't told it would cost us nearly $200 to come back. After voicing my concerns we were only given a discount, no apology and no explanation. This isn't what I consider honest business practice and I will definitely not recommend anyone to ever go here.
