After suffering from pain in my knee for several months. Dr. Hazel diagnosed the pain as a torn meniscus. He quickly scheduled surgery. The procedure was done in his building. After suffering from a torn meniscus for several months. Dr. Hazel was able to get me back to work within a couple days of the surgery. The surgery was quick and the staff was excellent.

Dr. Hazel is my orthopedic surgeon. I have used him for over 20 years. My family has also used him for surgeries and treatments. He is very knowledgeable and a nice guy. I would use him in a second.

Patient: Lorena

My wife had a problem that wasn't getting adequate attention. She was told that Dr. Hazel was out of town at a concert when in fact he wasn't. He overheard or found out somehow. As soon as he found out he called her and told her he would meet her at the hospital right away.
