Report
This place is the best in the Roanoke area. My husband had a bilateral knee replacement a couple years ago. He went to Advanced and raved about it. So when I recently had a right total knee done this is what I opted for. I can't say enough good things about this place. From the super nice front desk girls, to the conscientious guy who kept things immaculate and always had such a friendly way about him to my wonderful, wonderful therapist Jenny...thank you. It is so obvious you guys really care and want the best outcome for your patients. I owe so much to you.
