Our Patients Say
Dr. Handling
“As with any major surgery, there is a pretty high degree of anxiety going in, but I had a great confidence in the First State team and Dr. Handling. To anyone on the fence about this surgery, I can only recommend that you have it done at First State Ortho!”
– Howard E. Miller
Dr. J Axe
“Dr. Axe is one of the best doctors around. He is friendly and likes to joke around to make you feel comfortable. He replaced my hip and did my meniscus tear. He explained everything that was going to happen from start to finish. If I could I would have him as my primary doctor.”
– Jodallas
Dr. Kahlon
“Professional, personable and genuinely caring is how I describe Dr. Kahlon. His staff is well trained and courteous. My hand surgery went very well with minimal pain or discomfort. Dr. Kahlon’s discharge instructions were clear which aided in my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Kahlon to anyone requiring orthopedic attention.”
