Review for Dr. Harrod
Dr Grantham performed rotator cuff and bicep repair surgery on my left shoulder and arm. He was kind and informative before and after. It has been 6 weeks since surgery and almost no pain during recovery. The care he and the Lexington clinic staff have provided is A-Plus!

Review for Dr. Grantham
Dr. O’Neill took time to understand and diagnose the problem while explaining alternative treatments. Very comfortable and reassuring visit.

Review for Dr. O'Neill
Dr Harrod did not rush in and out. He took time to make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan while throughly explaining all steps. He was face to face the entire visit-no computer.
