I saw Dr Driscoll because I was having problems with a knee that had been replaced years earlier. He was extremely knowledgeable and determined the problem quickly. He did a revision & some reconstruction of that knee, and the surgery & recovery went great. In physical therapy, both my husband & I heard other people talk about how good their experience with Dr Driscoll had been. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing an orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Driscoll is a kind and caring surgeon. He is thorough in his exams and patient concerns. I couldn't ask for a better Doctor for my total right hip replacement.
