“Dr. Peters and his team replaced my left knee and to say I’m satisfied with the procedure would be an understatement. I had a chronic pain in my knee for 15 months and that pain is now gone, so thank you for a job well done.

Dr. Peters and his entire team were top-notch and I would highly recommend them to any patient who wants to go back to enjoying a pain free life again.”

“Once again I had a very good visit with your establishment. The front desk had their act together. I was greeted by a very nice nurse when it was my turn. She escorted me to the room and asked me questions related to my knee operation. Branden RN checked out my knee and we scheduled an appointment in four months. Bob Crosby

“Dr. Reineck repaired my Lt shoulder in February 2020. He has also repaired my Rt Shoulder. Without a doubt, he has added much quality and renewed energy to my life through these surgeries! Dr. Reineck also goes above and beyond the role of a surgeon. He truly cares about his patients and is very personable while still being so professional. Thanks again Jack!!
I do referrals for a living and I happily suggest Dr. Reineck to anyone looking for relief from shoulder pain or injury! Sincerely, Sarge :)”

“For Scott Groseclose: Hi Scott. You replaced my right hip in (I believe) 2011
It has done and continues to do wonderfully well!
I was wondering if you share with me the materials for the stem and cup.
Specifically, was the stem cobalt? Thanks for your help.
Best personal regards, Chuck"

Shoulder & Elbow

March 9, 2020

“The surgery was a bit painful to recover, but now 20 months later I have completely recovered and have full use of my right shoulder. I had fallen and torn my supraspinatus muscle (both ends) and the long end of the bicep with 1cm separation. Dr. Kerr arthroscopically repaired all the tears and now I can lift as much weight in the gym as I could before the fall. Thanks Dr. Kerr!”

“I have had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Groseclose and now Danielle Begin too! I was in a lot of pain from a knee injury at work on December 6, 2019, was my operation. I can finally walk again. Thank you Ashly for all your help. You are a wonderful assistance. It's always a pleasure seeing the three of you when I come in or bring my wife in for her medical needs. I bragged about you all the time and when I was working for Meijer in Williamsburg I suggested to my customer come to Great Lakes Orthopaedic Center. Dr. Groseclose team loves their patents and we love these three back. Thank you!”

It has been almost 24 hours since the sedated manipulation, and I have almost the same range of motion in BOTH shoulders PAIN-FREE! I am going to come in and shake your hand. Thank you!”

Hip & Knee

February 13, 2020

“I've been a patient here for almost 20 years. I've had both knees and both hips replaced. I started here because they were the only doctors in town that understood how painful my knees were. At 45, it's not usual to have your knees replaced. I'm 64 now. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Boyce and his staff. His medical assistant Kim is an angel. Dr. Boyce is an excellent surgeon. He's kind and caring and understands what arthritis pain is. Would I recommend him? In a heartbeat!”

Foot & Ankle

February 10, 2020

“I had major foot surgery on December 4, 2019, by Dr. Reichard. I had surgery three years ago on my other foot for the same reason and the same difficult surgery. The doctor I had before had retired before I was ready to go through this surgery again. I had great reservations about using a doctor I didn't know at all. My primary physician's daughter had been to him for a foot issue and she had really good luck with him. I decided to go ahead. I can't tell you how pleased I am that I did. I wanted to wait until I could bare weight on my foot to share how it went. The whole procedure was amazing. I had a lot less pain than last time after surgery. I had to wait eight weeks to walk on it which was two more than last time. I am so glad because it made a world of difference. I am walking around with a walker basically pain-free. My foot is no longer flat and has fallen off my heel. It is perfectly straight. I would highly recommend Dr. Reichard. He is an excellent surgeon in my opinion. He takes his time and does it right! I now have my life back. I am pain-free and will be able to keep up with my family instead of sitting on the sidelines watching life go by because I was in constant pain. GLOC made a great choice when they chose Dr. Reichard as their foot and ankle man. Thank you so much. I highly recommend him and would come back if I develop any other foot issues.”

Hip & Knee

December 11, 2019

“I can't say enough about Dr. Scott Groseclose and the work he has done on my knee injury. He did a whole knee replacement on my left knee on October 5, 2017, and I had a supper recovery…no problems.


But then I had a terrible fall at Meijer and landed on my new knee. I was in pain for ten months and no other doctor was able to help me. After seeing a few of Meijer doctors and supervisors thought I was only faking the pain Dr. Groseclose was able to detect my injury and relieve me of my pain on my birthday, December 6, of this year. Thank you Dr. Groseclose for making little people like me feel important and cared for. I am no longer in the pain I was in before the operation. I brag about you all the time…You are the best!”

Physical Therapy

“I met with David Diver today to go over aspects of my approaching hip replacement surgery. He did a superb job of explaining every step of the process…from pre-op to post-op to home care and follow-up. I feel very prepared for the procedure and anticipate it with confidence. My thanks to David.”

Dr Peters was Awesome with My Mom's Hip Surgery

December 26, 2018

“Dr. Peters was awesome with my mom's hip surgery. his entire staff was so caring and patient thru this whole thing for her. She was very nervous as she had never had surgery before and they were so good to her. My family would recommend Dr. Peters hands down to anyone needing surgery. The kindness and caring he and his office staff gave her were amazing. We felt she was in the best care possible. Thank you for all you have done for her- we greatly appreciate it. Dr. Peters is the best :)”

Amazing Results after Shoulder Surgery on Both Shoulders

“Dr. John Reineck came into my life after a head-on auto accident shattered both of my shoulders. On the strong recommendation from medical professionals, I waited in Munson Hospital for Dr. Reineck. Replacing two shoulders at once is somewhat unusual and my family wanted only the best. That’s exactly what I got! His surgical experience and specialized techniques, combined with intensive, lengthy rehabilitation, gave me back the use of my fingers, hands, and shoulders. Today I have a 99% range of motion which is nothing short of miraculous.

Any patient considering shoulder surgery of any type would be blessed to have Dr. Reineck’s brilliant surgical gifts and his warm, compassionate nature contributing to their full recovery.” Julie Maxson Lake Ann, MI

GLOC has a Caring, Helpful Approach

“I can’t speak highly enough of Great Lakes Orthopaedic Center. I have physical therapy for my knee and back. My experience with Josh has been top-notch. He not only knows therapy, but he knows a lot medically and that makes a big difference. I have also been working with Lynne for my back and she is extremely helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. GLOC has a caring, helpful approach and trusts me to follow up with my home exercises too.” Physical Therapy Patient Frankfort, MI

Physical Therapy for Hip Bursitis - Lynne Lombard... is Wonderful!

When my son would lay his head on my shoulder, it was very painful. After trying a couple of different doctors that simply wouldn’t listen to me, my family doctor suggested Great Lakes and I decided to give it a try. They started out by taking seven x-rays. After reviewing the x-rays, Dr. Reineck sat down with me and walked me through what the problems were and what could be done to help me. I had surgery on my shoulder and followed it up with physical therapy with Josh at GLOC. They were great. They listened to me and, mostly, they cared about me. And, now, my son can lay his head down on me and it doesn’t hurt. That’s the best feeling in the world.” Michael McNamara Cadillac, MI

Both Knees Replaced - A Wonderful Experience

“I had both my knees replaced (a couple of years apart) by Dr. McGraw and had such a wonderful experience. Other people see me running around and golfing and ask me where I got my knees. I have referred many people to Dr. McGraw and the specialists at Great Lakes Orthopaedic Center.” Carolyn Diponio

Shoulder and Knee Surgeries: Better than Expected... and Worth It

Fast and Professional Physical Therapy for Knee Replacement Surgery

“I couldn’t ask for a better doctor than Dr. Boyce. The whole GLOC team was fast, professional, and gave me easy-to-understand explanations. My physical therapist said I could be a poster child for knee replacement surgery.” Steve Kish

Strongly Recommended to Anyone Experiencing Shoulder Difficulties

“I went to Dr. Brian Kerr when I was having trouble with my right shoulder and he gave me several options to alleviate the pain. Following rotator cuff surgery he coordinated my physical therapy with GLOC Physical Therapist Lynne Lombard who was key to my recovery. Also helpful were the guidelines Dr. Kerr gave me which addressed what I could and could not do with my right arm before and after surgery. I strongly recommend Dr. Kerr and the entire team of specialists at GLOC to anyone experiencing shoulder difficulties.” Lynn Robison Traverse City, MI
