Patient Reviews
“Dr. Lynch did a carpal tunnel release and a tenosynovectomy on my left hand. During every appointment leading up to the surgery he explained my condition and the surgery he would be doing to repair my condition. He was professional, courteous, and thorough. The surgery was a complete success and the scar is barely visible. I would highly recommend Dr. Lynch as a surgeon. I would also commend the entire team, from his assistant Skip to the front office staff, for their part in making the whole process seamlessly pleasant.”

“Mark and Janelle are awesome. I got in and out quickly, however they took the time to make sure that I had all my questions and concerns answered. The advice and treatment I received was spot on. If I ever have an issue again they will be my only call.”

“I have been very pleased with the treatment I have received from SCOI, Dr. Schopler and Emily Fish, PA. I underwent a lumbar fusion and it has been a slow recovery. They have been with me every step of my recovery and I always have been treated with respect and they always clearly explain the treatment plan. I love how they bring up the actual X-ray pictures and show me what has been done and where we are at in the healing process. – Irene M.”

“5 Stars times 2 - a Perfect 10! I am 14 weeks post rotator cuff & bicep repair surgery with no pain & almost full range of motion - just have to build lean muscle when the time is right (patience!). I am tremendously grateful to Dr. Snyder - a highly skillful & kind surgeon, as well as to his great medical staff & competent office team. BTW, over the years, Dr. Snyder operated on the shoulders of my very athletic husband and 2 sons. To this day, they all have pain-free shoulders & enjoy all their sports.”
