I used to go up to Madison and then tried Rockford orthopedics. Madison was too far and I didn't care for Rockford orthopedics. I tried Northern orthopedic labs on Charles St. My experience has been very positive one. They are awesome. They take their time to make sure your product is done right. I also like the fact it's closer to home. Very accommodating, generous, respectful, and courteous. I would recommend to a friend any day.
