Dr Maser has the patience that you RARELY find this day and age in a Dr. . He never is in a hurry and always answers questions (even dumb ones in my case) in a way that makes sense. He has done numerous procedures, injections etc.Show more and is STILL patient when I tend not to adhere to his post procedure advice. I have danced around the procedure of finally having him go in and repair my lower back due to the fact that I'm kind of terrified of anyone working on my spine due to horror stories about "botched procedures" and so. Again, he has been MORE than patient and I'm the epitome of a "bad patient " and he still just shakes his head and asks "ya ready yet" to attack the root of my issue. His staff , Susie and Annie have ALWAYS been no less than awesome with my " special requests" and last minute appointments due to the fact that I live in Colorado half the time and here in Florida the other half and they all have been no less than awesome to work with. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I can have any procedure done in either state but I choose to have Maser and his staff here in Florida for all my medical needs. Again, it's rare to find a practice that not only do they remember you by name, they actually treat you with the same familiarity that " old school" way. If your sitting in the fence and not sure... try him and his staff, you will see what I and everyone I have had the pleasure of visiting with in the waiting room have come to experience. I'd give a high 5 if I could
Dear Dr. Williams, Every time I go into your offices, I am blown away with the level of compassion and concern that is displayed by every one of your staff. I am truly in awe. On my last visit, it was over the top with the depth oShow moref explanation that you yourself were willing to take the time to describe some of the "what ifs" that can occur in the future. So your tech took more x-rays to show me exactly why and where I am experiencing the pain, not that I am trying to run up the bill, but if the ligaments are missing then that may well mean that I will be somewhat disabled as a result of those issues. For these reasons, am i pleased, I am ecstatic that I have not experienced in a long time. It has been a unique experience to say the least. On a different subject, I was asking one of your associates if there might be a time when I might be able to speak with you. I use a number of different supplements and I cannot get from the telephone agents any kind of information other than these products are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any disease. My response to them is, then why am I talking to you at all.Ir is virtually impossible to get in touch with these doctors. All I want is the best product to do the best for by body. Thank you for all that you have done for me thus far. I only wish there were a lot more like you chair-side manner, (bedside just didn't feel appropriate)!

From the time I walked into the practice I was treated fantastic the staff were professional respectful and attentive to my needs and Dr James was patient and informative, I felt comfortable and at ease thank you all for your fantastic service. Highly recommend
Great staff. Relatable, timely, professional
I have 100% confidence in Dr James. 2 hips for me and a tricky repair of a bad forearm break for my wife. Obviously we are getting older so we have had a few physicians over the years. He and the practice are top of the list
Great service and staff. Dr James was great. I will recommend
I would recommend him to anyone. He is very experienced Dr and explains my problems to me and what he is doing for my pain.
Very professional and compassionate. Made me feel at ease both before and after the procedure. I highly recommend Dr James
Excellent doctor!
Very pleasant doctor. I got shots in my knee and knees are doing better. Great staff. I have been going there for years and they are easy to work with and give me what I need
Dr. James is by far the best orthopedic doctor I have seen. He is very personal and professional and has given me excellent care at every visit. I had a total hip replacement with no complications and a very quick recovery time. I have recommended to many of my friends and they have been extremely happy with his care!!
Very nice good professional. Thank you
Reviewed my MRI and explained it to me in language I understood. He was warm and personable. I felt confident and reassured about my torn meniscus. Also your support staff were wonderful and professional. Thank you for a positive experience.
Dr. James is a caring person, I've recently started seeing him for lower back pain. He & Tracy and the rest of the staff are working hard to find the cause and rectify the problem. Thank you all very much
Dr. James is a great Doctor and Surgeon. He replaced both my knees. He communicates well and follows up and cares. He is easy to talk to and thorough.
Bilateral hip-total replacements done + doing very good !
Great job
Fantastic person and surgeon. You can tell that he loves his job and his patients.
The office and staff were very welcoming. I was relieved to be able to get a same day appointment with Dr. James. He was very personable and efficient. Maggie was friendly and thorough. Tracy in xray was informative and most helpful. I had an amazing visit and would definitely recommend to others!
Totally awesome!!!!
Dr. James was very patient and really listened to my problem. I could see he had empathy for what I was going through. He checked me out thoughly and did a series of xrays and diagnosed my problem perfectly. Overall good experience

Dr James is terrific!
I have been for 4 different opinions and this doctor was the best. He did tests on my knees that no orthopedic has done. Extremely thorough and friendly. The whole staff was excellent. I highly recommend them, specifically Dr James.
Very professional staff and doctors. Clean, organized waiting room, and customer service was top-notch. Very confident my quality of care meets or exceeds other orthopedic professionals. Doctor James communicated and performed in a manner which shows he continues to be up to date on medical practices and research in his field. I am confident and trust that I am in the best hands possible for my bones.
Very Honest. Very explicit on what my outcome would be. Very good explanations. Would definitely have his opinion.
Excellent
