Lorrie: Just touching base with you after almost four years since my C6-C7 surgery on… October 2009. I just referred my pastor’s wife to Dr. McAfee and decided to look at your web site again. Thanks again for the help that you all afforded me. I can work out to the max on 15 machines at the gym, water ski, snow ski, ride ATV, do construction/carpentry, and so on. Before my surgery, I was told by a physical therapist and pain medicine provider that I would have to give up those things forever. God had different plans for me and helped me find your organization and Dr. McAfee. For some reason, it still bothers me to run on the road as I used to do all year round, but I like being outdoors, so I’ve switched to bike riding when weather is good and the elliptical trainers when it is not. Thanks again, Read more “I Can Work Out, Water Ski, Snow Ski…”

I had arthroscopic surgery on my knee performed by Dr. E Craig Matthews at St… Joseph’s. The entire experience, from the initial visit to waking up was fantastic. Everyone at the office was great to work with. I would like to thank Amanda, who coordinated everything and was quick to answer any questions I had. He spoke to me prior to surgery and was very reassuring and told me that he would take good care of me as he parted. Finally I’d like to thank Dr. Matthews for his expert diagnosis and skill in the operating room. I appreciate his work and his post op explanations on my rehab and what I can expect and when. Knee feels great. As a side note, I had ACL reconstructive surgery of the other knee, 32 years ago also at St Joseph’s. It went very well too, so it’s nice to see St Joseph’s has continued their excellent care for all these years. Thank you to all involved. Read more “Knee Feels Great!”

The care and attention provided by his team and the hospital was excellent. All calls to his office returned on the same day. Dr. Dalury is a very kind, professional and responsible doctor. He listens to you and doesn’t recommend the surgery unless it’s necessary. Dr. Dalury is the BEST orthopedic surgeon in US and I highly recommend him! Read more “The BEST Orthopedic Surgeon in US”

PATIENT: “Captain Ken W.
Sung to the tune of The Beverly Hillbilly’s: Come and… listen to a story and it won’t be dumb, It’s about Dr. Wolock and my trigger finger thumb, Dr. said “Hey Ken, you’ll have surgery at Three, But I got there early and they were nice as they could be. Well the first thing you know, there were forms to be filled out I knew of Dr. Wolock so I really had no doubt, I was taken back to pre-op just as speedy as can be, and that is when his staff began to dote and care for me. Well, Dr. Wolock stopped by to address any concern, He answered all my questions, always nice & never stern, He said “HEY KEN” , It’s your turn in O.R.1, And before I knew it, my surgery was done. The Post Op team with compassion & with care , Saw to my every need, every moment I was there, They escorted me out, true professionals to the end, I know I was a patient but I felt more like a friend. Well now it’s time to rest up, no need to moan and groan, the phone rang several times , The Doctor checked on me at home, Such a high level of care, for an average guy like me, I bet you’ll get the same great care, you heard it straight from me… Ken that is….healing fast, Great Care! For those who are of a more serious nature: Outstanding in every aspect. Talk about professional…these folks rolled out the red carpet service treatment for me and I could not be more satisfied with my care!!! Read more “Outstanding in Every Aspect!”

Dr. Langhammer is an awesome physician. She is caring, kind, and efficient. I never had… to wait for an extended amount of time to see her and she actually listened to my concerns. I didn’t feel intimidated or ashamed of asking the same thing over. She explained things until I fully understood without getting frustrated with me. Most of all, she is compassionate. She respected my feeling. I’m so glad that I chose Dr. Langhammer to be my physician. 5 stars are truly not enough for her. Read more “5 Stars are Truly Not Enough!”

I chose Dr. Dalury to perform a bilateral total knee replacement. I couldn’t be more… pleased with him, his staff and the amazing result he obtained for me. Dr. Dalury met with me in consultation and spent as much time with me as I desired to answer questions about the procedures. The surgeries were performed one week apart. After each surgery, Dr. Dalury, his PA and nurse visited me in the recovery room just to see how I was doing. I thought that this was a very nice gesture. I had one post-operative visit with the PA, Mike, who was very professional, and I will see Dr. Dalury for a 3 month post-op visit. My interactions with Dr. Dalury’s assistant Joyce have also been most positive. She was unfailingly accessible and responsive to my inquiries. I hesitate to say that anything or anyone is “perfect,” but my experience with Dr. Dalury has been as close to perfect as is possible. Read more “Close To Perfect As Is Possible”

3 years with a herinahed disc more pain then I can discribe here. That was… before the surgery. After. No pain I was able to stop taking the pain meds as little as 1 week after the surgery. Wish I had gone earlier would have saved me so much grife pain and money. It is nice to be able to use the computer and drive again with out pain. And as a software developer being able to use the computer is a must for me. I can once again work without pain. My issue was with c5 to c7. You can not even see the surgical scare now and it has not even been 2 months since the surgery. I would recommend if you have unbearable pain from a heritaged/extrude disc. Also he has a good bedside manner, and is friendly. Read more “Wish I Had Gone Earlier!”

I am in the process of recovering from a third joint replacement surgery performed by… Dr. Winakur in the last 2 years. I have found him to be professionally friendly, personable, and an excellent communicator. From my initial appointment through the most recent surgery, Dr. Winakur has been thorough (and correct) in evaluation and has given me easily understood explanations of the surgical procedures to be performed. I received good instruction on preparing for each operation and excellent aftercare information. I have recovered quickly from each surgery; amazingly, at age 68, I returned to horseback riding 8 weeks after the second hip replacement. Commenting on this, my physical therapist (not associated with Towson Orthopedics) told me that the patients who recover from orthopedic surgery the best are the ones who have the best surgeons. I can only agree. Many thanks to him for his part in greatly improving my quality of life. Read more “Multiple surgeries with excellent results”

Kellie: I wanted to take a minute to let you know about the wonderful presentation… that Dr. Clough gave to the Catholic Ladies Service Organization and the Bel Air Knights of Columbus last night. To say it was a success is an understatement. The doctor was very personable, informative and welcoming of questions from all in attendances and there was lots of them. The power point presentation was at a level that everyone was able to understand without all of the $10 words normally used by doctors explaining a problem. The doctor remained at the council fielding additional questions after the presentation further endearing him to his audience including my husband, who has finally decided to make an appointment with him. I as well as the organization thank both Dr. Clough for the presentation and you for setting this informative educational presentation up for our group I look forward to working with you in the future for additional presentations. I currently am awaiting the available dates for the council’s social monthly meetings to set up yet another informative presentation.

I could barely walk when I went into his office with a torn meniscus. After… reviewing my x-rays and MRI he recommended aspirating the knee. The relief was immediate. I cannot say enough good things nor thank him enough for the pain relief he has provided me. He suggested holding off on surgery unless the swelling and pain return. He is a blessing to his patients.

This is my second surgical experience with Dr Scott Tarantino and Ben Gardner, PA. This… group performed my first TKR in January 2016, and my second TKR was recently done on 1/2/19 at St Joseph’s Hospital. Although, I’m still moving slowly, and have about 3 months of Physical Therapy for strengthening and ranging my new knee, my pain is so much less than before surgery. They cleaned out all of the bone on bone fragments, cartilage, and jagged fragments prior to installing my new knee. I could tell immediately that all of that “junk” was gone as soon as I walked with my implant on 1/2/19.
Couldn’t be more pleased with the care received by my outstanding surgical group! Thank you so much Dr Tarantino and Ben Gardner💕 Read more “Outstanding Surgical Group!”

I found DR Fedder simply by an internet search. I say simply, but my search… was done after walking out of several offices when doctors refused to listen to me, kept trying to push pills…
DR Fedder listened, educated me and prescribed a no nonsense approach to my low back issues. DR Fedder believes in taking proper steps to treat injuries, and looks at pills and surgery as a last line of treatment.
Thanks to his advice, some work on my part, my low back is doing just fine. As such, I will be seeing him again for other spine issues. I know I will be in good hands. Read more “Quality DR with a no nonsense approach”

You operated on my fractured (3 pieces) patella (right knee) in 2015. My last visit… with you was May of 2015 but I continued an aggressive home PT program. I thought you would appreciate hearing about my jogging results. Before my injury I would jog 2 miles, 1-2 times a week. Before the surgery you told me I would be able to ride a bike but you could not say whether I would be able to jog. I have worked very hard to get my knee to where it is today. When I jog I have good mobility and pain free. I always stretch after jogging and usually experience a little tightness and minor pain. This condition dissipated very quickly if I walk some. The next morning both knees are fine. I know that without your knowledge and operating skills I would not have been able to achieve these results… Thanks!! Read more “Thank You!”

I have been a patient of Dr. Clough since 2016. During the three plus years,… Dr. Clough has treated my left knee for arthritis and sports injuries. This past September we agreed it was time for a knee replacement. I had about two months to prepare. At Dr. Clough’s suggestion, I worked out the knee every day to help strengthen it prior to surgery. Surgery was on December 4, 2019. Yes, I had pain for about three weeks and then gradually it began to subside. Therapy was in my home for 4+ weeks and I progressed quickly. On February 4, 2020 I played nine holes of golf. In a short two months, I am pain free! I can’t say enough good things about how I was treated by everyone a Towson Orthopedic Assoc. But especially my Doctor! Thank you all!

Dear Dr. Wolock: Just over 3 years ago I fell and broke my right radius.… You performed an operation on December 20, and just for fun I chose a pink cast knowing it wouldn’t be on for long. Shortly thereafter you told me I also had a torn right rotator cuff. You repaired the rotator cuff in January, and told me that the injury was quite severe. I think of you almost every time I life one of my grandchildren over my head. I think of you often as I am doing home repairs, or working on my old American Flyer trains. I am profoundly thankful for your skills as a surgeon, and for your kind and compassionate treatment when I was your patient. I am sitting here now looking at the x-rays of big metal plate and screws you used to put my broken mess of an arm back together again.

Thank you for being thorough in answering my questions and for making sure I understood everything. I really appreciate your professionalism before, during and after my ankle operation. I liked how you introduced me to your team in the operating room. That made me feel like a human being instead of a nameless patient. Perhaps you remember my determination when I told you much I value my legs, and I would do “everything in my power” to heal fast. I kept to my word. I did my own (aggressive) therapy using best practices. My recovery was remarkably fast. You mended my ankle in March of 2012. By the 2nd week of May I was walking without a cane or crutches, and by July, I was jogging; just 4 months after the operation.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your awesome team for the… wonderful care I received during my recent surgery. From start date to current date, I must say that you are a wonderful team of professionals! I never shared this with you but I have been a massage therapist for 20 yrs. and 11 of those years have been at my current place of employment, [hospital]. Because of my years of experience, I was asked to be part of our “Spine Team.” I have been an active member of this team for 5 yrs. so naturally, I “signed up” for surgery with them. That was completed on March 31st with a “traditional” fusion at C5-6. Knowing in my heart and training that these “fusions” lead to more fusions, I kept asking for peace within myself to have the surgery because physically, I knew I could not continue this way. As with all things, when asked for from a place of purity, my peace was given to me in the form of you and St. Joe’s! As soon as I met you and you took the time to ensure I knew what, why, where, and when, I knew I was in good hands and ready to “jump ship” from [hospital’s] techniques. I felt so calm and peaceful going into surgery because you took the time to make sure there were no T’s uncrossed and no I’s left undotted. I even have a documented history of anxiety! (That is why I meditate). This is a tough thing to accomplish in current health care, I feel. I can’t thank you all enough for being my “Knights in shining armour”, for always taking the extra time even when you already know you’re behind schedule and for your pure brilliant mind in creating (and sticking with that endeavor) the coalition! My body, my husband and my future thanks you! Many blessings to all of you! Truly & Sincerely, Read more “My Body, My Husband, and My Future Thanks You!”

I had my back surgery on [date] 2019. I’ll never forget that date. Dr. Crandall… and his staff were truly “miracle workers.” Following painful/unsuccessful weeks of therapy, I was in absolute agony. I had displaced a vertebrae along with damaging a few disks while landscaping. I could barely walk a few yards. Because of nerve damage, I experienced sciatica down both legs and numbness in my feet. It felt as though I had a broken ankle and had to drag one leg. It also felt as though there was a vice in my lower back tearing me apart. Trying to sleep lying down was no longer possible. It was sheer hell. Through the kindness’ of others I’d hear, “You don’t want surgery. The repercussions could be so much worse!” When you cannot walk, are in excruciating pain from nerve damage, can’t sleep, and starting to drink heavily to medicate yourself because pain re-leavers simply aren’t working, there truly is no alternative. I am very fond of St. Joseph’s hospital for their care of my elderly father these past 5 years. There was no doubt in my mind that they would have a skilled Orthopedic Department. I was very impressed with Dr. Crandall upon meeting him. Very professional, self assured – he gained my confidence quite readily. He also rearranged his schedule – and that of many others – to provide me with a surgery ASAP. I won’t say that the aftermath of surgery wasn’t painful, but within three weeks I no longer needed, nor to this day, have I taken a simple pill of any type for pain. I can walk up to three miles without discomfort and try to do so every day/other day. I did not have any followup therapy of any sort after my surgery. I no longer drink any alcohol. Dr. Crandall ordered a bone density machine to help my bones heal. I know many others who have had back surgery – not at St. Joseph’s – and no one has ever heard of the machine. I wear it – religiously – 2 hrs. a day for the next six to nine months. I feel great. I experience a few twinges here and there, and know when I should not continue doing something too strenuous. I wouldn’t think twice about undergoing surgery again, if necessary. I would highly recommend Dr. Crandall and his staff to everyone. Because of Dr. Crandall, I can walk again without any pain. Because of him, his staff and having my surgery at St. Joseph’s, I can have a Merry Xmas and look forward to a very Happy New Year. Read more “I Can Walk Again”

You have changed my life. Gone are the “I’ll just stay in the car, you go” days. I really enjoyed being on the trails again, walking without pain. Downhills!!! Thank you for your skill in knee replacement. It was the most difficult of things for me to endure due to not being able to take pain meds, yet it was so worth the struggle to recovery. I literally cannot tell you what it means for me to have knees that work pain free. I truly did not realize how they held me back before. You gave me back my love for being outside on the trails and I am not afraid to get out there again and walk to my heart’s delight. With so much gratitude for you and your talented team. Give Mike my regards as well. Wishing you much joy and happiness. Read more “You Have Changed My Life”

I was recommended by a friend who is a PA to Towson Orthopaedic. The staff… at the Bellona office are all incredibly friendly and welcoming. I had a persisting issue with my finger that Dr. Langhammer was able to identify as trigger finger. I loved that she wasn’t pushy with a cortisone shot or surgery. Gave me a cast to wear and didn’t end up helping after a month, I got the cortisone shot. I hyped myself up from watching youtube videos but the shot was nearly painless, similar to a regular shot. She is thorough in her explanations and is well educated in her line of work. 5 stars all around! Read more “5 Stars All Around!”

Thank you to everyone on the medical team at the office at St. Joseph’s ~… Towson Orthopaedic Center. Dr. Kenneth Crandall, you will always be someone I deeply appreciate. Thank you for being a great person, you never gave up on seeing me healthy again. You always gave me assurance I would be out of pain, living my life again as I enjoyed.

A lot of time has passed since we first met, there were many obstacles to overcome. With you and your endless efforts to see me well again, “we finally” got me to better health. I feel like everything, my surgery and recovery were important to you to see me healthy again. Thank you Kenneth Crandall, you will always be an incredible doctor, but more an incredible person.

He has a great down-to-earth staff being Sandy and Melissa who have also been easy and very friendly to work with. I recommend Dr. Detterline and would give many more stars if they were available.

On [date] around noon time, I suffered a fall that resulted in my fracturing both… my shoulder and hip. My wife drove me to St. Joseph’s emergency room. I was seen immediately by staff and was operated on by Dr. Elizabeth Langhammer. Dr. Langhammer turned out to be a wonder in terms of professionalism, caring and support. The followup sessions with the support staff was very much consistent with professionalism and competency I experienced at St. Joe’s. I later discovered that Dr. Langhammer’s specialty was hand, wrist and elbow. But, all signs indicted that the surgery was a total success on the hip (the shoulder’s break did not require an operation. Read more “Excellence in every aspect of service”

Dr. McAfee restored me to health after another doctor and institution crippled me. I am… very grateful as no one else would even look to help as they do not touch other doctor’s screw ups lest they cause a law suit or something. He cared about my health and wisely used a diagnostic tool which explained the problem, namely a seated MRI which showed spinal cord compression.

They called the orthopedic surgeon on call fixed me up and told me to call Dr. Dalury the next day. When I called his office the next morning his staff already had a full report of what happened and instructions on what to do next. He explains things in a way an everyday person can understand and not medical terms that make no sense. He has never rushed me through an appointment and answers ALL of my questions.

Brian Mulliken helped perform my first knee replacement with Dr. PD Jones who at that… time was retiring so it was luck of the draw and I don’t think I have ever been luckier.

Dear Dr. Brodie: I wanted to take a few moments to write and let you… know how right you were with your assessment of my problem and how well you did with the procedure. I am still amazed. I went two years with the problem you worked on and was in considerable pain a good part of the time. I saw no less than 5 doctors who really didn’t have a clue and seemed to pass it off as part of the pain you may feel with aging. You took the time to listen and probe and felt you knew what was wrong. You gave me a clear picture of what I could expect with each of the options you presented for action. You told me that if I took the course I did that I would probably be relieved of 80-90% of the problem yet still be mobile. You were right on target. Believe me I can live with the few moments of discomfort I sometimes feel. I have to be careful of some things I do—but I can walk and run again and for that I needed to say Thank You. Keep up the good work. May this card find you and yours in good health and happiness. Read more “Still Amazed!”
