Patient Testimonials
Report
Originally from New York, Cheri and her mother Sarah moved west to the Tacoma area 10 years ago. Cheri first learned about Puget Sound Orthopaedics after talking to a stranger at her local gym. She booked an appointment, and has been returning to PSO regularly ever since. When Sarah began to have pain in her hips, Cheri was confident that Puget Sound Orthopaedics would provide her mother with compassionate and superior care.
