Patient Testimonials

“I’m a new patient that recently had rotator cuff surgery in Virginia Beach by Dr. Campbell. From the beginning, he listened to me and put me at ease. I had a pretty messed up shoulder and knew therapy would be no picnic. Today was my first therapy session and the Physical Therapist at the Virginia Beach location (Caitlin) was amazing. I was really nervous because it’s only a week since my surgery and I still have quite a bit of discomfort. She pushed me but not too hard and laid out an exercise plan to follow at home. I’m looking forward to further sessions and getting to the point where I no longer live in pain.” – Jimmy L.

“Dr. Campbell is outstanding. I took my mom to see him on based on a referral from her other doctor to prepare her for surgery. Dr. Campbell listened, conducted tests, and asked appropriate questions in order to get the large scope of the issue – then made logical, progressive recommendations based on the info. Many surgeons just check boxes and continue with the surgery route- but not Dr. Campbell, for which I’m grateful. If you are considering shoulder surgery, I highly recommend this doctor and this facility. Trustworthy and knowledgeable.”

“This was my first visit with Dr. Campbell and he was very personable and interested in my health. He told me what I thought was the problem and what I could expect. He laid out a course of treatment and then answered my questions in full. He is just what I want from my health provider. No beating around the bush, just the facts. Look forward to working with him in the future.”

“Dr. Campbell performed a knee surgery on me 6 years ago. His expertise, bedside manner & knowledge is unparallel. In my opinion, there is no better.”

“Dr. Campbell provides excellent information on the need for knee replacement surgery yet respects my decision to choose that time. He gives the best cortisone shots, taking care to prepare the perfect site and telling me when he’s inserting the needle. He makes that experience as comfortable as possible. He is professional, personable, and efficient!”

“Dr. Campbell is amazing. He is a compassionate and extraordinarily knowledgeable physician. I truly feel like I’m a part of a team whenever I’m there. So grateful.”
