    Dr. Campbell is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. During my career in the orthotic and prosthetic field, I have provided bracing for many of Dr. Campbell's patients. I have never encountered anyone who had anything negative to say about him. When I needed help with my own back problem, Dr. Campbell was the only one I considered. He has met my needs and I would recommend him to anyone in need of spinal services. Great doctor, great personality.
