My husband had back surgery in 2018 by a neurosurgeon here in Kalamazoo. That surgery needed to be…read moreredone within 2 months. Being naive about back surgeries we thought my husband was getting the best care he could. After the 2nd surgery failed miserably a friend suggested that we see Dr. Nicholas Shroeder at OSOC. Within minutes of meeting with us he explained clearly why the first two surgeries had failed. By this point my husband is in constant pain and can no longer stand up straight. Dr. Shroeder explained what he felt the best course of action was going to be for Tom's situation. Dr. Shroeder had the new pieces needed for Tom's back made specifically for him in France. The previous neurosurgeon had just grabbed any rods and screws within reach. That was what kept Tom from standing upright. The picture on the right shows the neurosurgeon placed straight rods in his back. Losing the natural curve is what kept him from ever standing straight and in excruciating pain. The picture on the left is what was needed to give Tom the ability to walk and have a good quality of life again. This shows the difference between an excellent surgeon and one who should never be allowed to practice medicine again. The day of the surgery was a very long one. Dr Shroeder performed the 14 hour surgery to correct the neurosurgeon's mess. He actually had to rebuild Tom's back vertebrae by vertebrae. There were a few appointments before the surgery and a few during the next year. It is a 3 hour drive each way for appointments/surgery. Both my husband and I feel that the drive back and forth saved his life. I do not say that lightly. It's been 6 years since his surgery at OSOC and we are so grateful to Dr. Shroeder and his wonderful staff, especially Liz. Their knowledge, patience, compassion and kindness is so appreciated.

He did my full right knee replacement 8 years ago and a full left knee replacement almost one year ago. Both surgeries were a great sucess with a speedy recovery. Dr. Kassab and his team are on top of the latest science and technology. They have their own Physical Therapist who are wonderful to work with, so friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. The physical therapists are in direct contact with Dr. Kassab so they are able to track and report your progress. Very highly recommended! Leanne Oxford, MI

A broken bone and casting are very scary things to deal with when you're seven-years-old, but everyone explained very patiently what they were doing to help my son, and he calmed down and felt better. When he wasn't so stressed out, the healing could begin. Everyone from the woman on the phone making our appointment, to the assistants who got us situated in rooms, to the x-ray techs who took new pictures of the break each time, to those lucky souls who got to cut off the old casts (the loudest part, and my son's least favorite) were excellent. While we hope never to need them again, this would be our first call if we were dealing with a similar emergency again.

They realize that I have a challenging job and have come up with innovative ways to help me strengthen my shoulder and avoid further injury. This customized treatment plan has helped me continue working in a field I love, and has helped me overcome what the surgeon labeled a "career-ending injury". Unfortunately, I have had experience with many different physical therapists. The therapists here are phenomenal! They are caring, kind, extremely knowledgeable, and motivating. I would recommend them for the most challenging cases.

The staff is knowledgable, attentive and everybody genuinely cares for the patients. Athletico has been the only facility I have been to that provides hands on therapy with your physical therapist at every visit. Faina Goldin has been my PT for several years, and she has helped me with my knees, neck, shoulders and more. She is not only a great therapist, she also is very caring with every patient she sees, is personally invested in their recovery, and is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure they heal and return to their normal routines. Every person at this practice works in the same way, from the moment you walk in the door you know they will take care of everything from insurance, scheduling, assisting you and explaining everything you need to know and to do. I highly recommend this clinic, and everybody there (Faina, Ashley, Kevin, Shelly, Matt and everybody else there). I would never go anyplace else and have referred others who were also very happy with their experience here.
