  • “Dr. Chipman is the best in pain management! He's extremely knowledgeable,caring, and does as much as medically possible to help keep me pain-free. His staff makes sure your taken care of in a very professional manner, and keeps me informed on what's needed and when. I've been seeing Dr. Chipman for a few years now and know that he's the Doctor to go to for help with pain. I've had serious pain due to my previous line of work and I thought I could just deal with it...almost 17 years was enough. I was referred to him and I now know what a good nights sleep is and to be able to do more than I have in several years. I recommend seeing Dr. Chipman to anyone that needs pain management.  My Thanks and gratitude to Dr. Chipman and Staff.”

  • “I was treated so well from the entire staff, actually there is no word to describe it. I was pretty nervous going in, but by the time my procedure started I was comfortable. You know, the word surgery can be intimidating and big or small, it can be overwhelming! But Dr Watts and the whole staff just make you feel at home and you know you will be alright!! Thank you for letting me use my right wrist painless again. Thank you Dr. Watts and your wonderful staff.”

  • “In May 2015, Dr. Tenholder removed an 8" support blade and screws (installed in 1993) from my right knee in preparation for a full knee replacement, which occurred in October 2015. Both operations were successful. I found Dr. Tenholder, his PA Rick, and his assistant Malcolm to be pleasant, easy to talk with, and frankly honest in their assessments of my condition and responses to my questions. After the knee replacement in October 2015, I performed my physical therapy at the Orthopaedic Associates site in Destin and was extremely satisfied with the therapists there. I have also found the administrative staff at the Destin office to be pleasant and attentive. All and all, my experiences with Orthopaedic Associates have been outstanding and I would highly recommend the group to others.”

  • “I was sent to Dr. Watt by my company's workers compensation department after a fall I sustained at work. I found everyone to be very friendly and professional. Dr. Watt himself is very attentive and actually listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions, unlike a lot of doctors who rush in, rush out, and leave you with questions you end up asking the nurse. After he did my knee surgery in that case I continued to  use him for all my orthopedic issues and do so to this day even if I have to drive to the Ft. Walton office. If you want quality care in a friendly and professional atmosphere this is your place.”

  • “Dr. Fusco was the answer to my prayers. I had been walking around with a big chunk of glass in my foot for 5 weeks, wasted time and money with 2 previous doctors who were obviously afraid to do glass removal. Dr. Fusco scheduled surgery rapidly, had it out in 15 minutes, and I am back to ballroom dancing and singing Dr. Fusco's praises.”

  • “Dr. Thackeray is very knowledgeable about the treatment of knee injuries. He performed surgery on my left knee to clean up a torn meniscus. The results were fantastic. My knee feels 30 years younger. His recommendations for treatment for my severe osteoarthritis are 'spot on'. I am now able to walk pain-free.”

  • “When you come to the realization that traditional treatment is not going to solve your health issue, it is quite an overwhelming feeling. After visiting three neurosurgeons and feeling more overwhelmed with them talking above my head, I learned about Dr. Landry from a coworker. He was such a calming presence.  He spoke in layman's terms and even explained my MRI to me. He understood that a person under 40 doesn't want to have surgery. After our conversations,  there was no doubt that he was the one. To go one step further, his scheduler Lauren is the kindest and most genuinely caring person I have ever spoken with a doctor. Calls are promptly returned, answers and updates are always provided. This team is top notch.”

  • “I went to see Dr. Fusco with horrible ankle pain and at times I was unable to walk on it. Everyone at Orthopaedic Associates was so very nice and helpful and I'm happy to say I am now walking almost pain free. Thanks so much and I would absolutely recommend Dr. Fusco. He is at the top of my list of good Doctors!”

  • “Dr. Tenholder has been seeing me on and off through my medical problems. First was my knee injury work related, unfortunately, but he did everything to get it back to working with the help of physical therapy and knee brace, even everything went smoothly thru workman's comp. Then my recent medical problem, shoulder impingement, I went to him again and he gave me a cortisone shot, wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and been going to physical therapy again, but my shoulder is getting better! Dr. Tenholder is a great doctor who keeps me going and if I have another ortho problem, he will be my choice of doctor to go to! And not to forget the awesome staff he has there! Very friendly and understanding!”

  • “Dr. Landry is a compassionate healer with an outstanding diagnostic and surgical skill set. His comprehensive approach to treatment provided the best potential for a return to the active life I was missing out on due to a degenerative spine. Following an extensive surgery, Dr. Landry and his team continued to excel in the care and treatment of any complications or concerns that arose. They were there for me from the first consult to the final recheck. I would recommend Dr. Landry as a spine specialist without reservation.”
