    I walked into the office that morning with knee and back pain. Anela (not sure of spelling) gave me cortisone shots in both knees. The next day I had no back or knee pain. It was great. I have always had a great experience in both the Eldersburg and Westminster offices. Everyone from the front desk to the providers are all very nice and helpful.

    Seeing all the top marks and high praise I have given in this survey, anyone might wonder if I completely understand the purpose or how to fill in each category. The fact is that I had an excellent experience with Carroll Orthopedics and feel certain that once the results from the MRI come in, the issues with my knee will be resolved in the best manner possible. The Doctor and staff inspired confidence and I felt treated as an individual, with respect and attention.
