February 20, 2026
Dr. Birmingham was kind, patient and reassuring taking quick action to immediately get me scheduled for an MRI and Doppler for an urgent injury. In a time of fear and uncertainty he made me feel significantly better with a direct and calm explanation of the injury and the steps that would unfold in short order.

Dr. Birmingham is great. I am another healthcare provider and I refer all my patients that need orthopedic care to him. When I needed it for my own personal use, he was the only person that I contacted. He took great care of me and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was up-to-date on research and gave me different options for my care
