I was lucky to have been referred to Durham Done and Joint clinic in Ajax. From initial visit to diagnosis i found the process very smooth. After an MRI showed a rotator cuff tear, Dr Kowalczuk recommended surgery to resolve the issue. I truely can not say enough good things about Dr Kowalczuk, he was truly awesome. He has a good beside manner and he takes the time to explain and answer questions. If you or anyone you know needs orthopedic support or even surgery I recommend this clinic.

I had an outstanding experience with Lisa at The Durham Bone and Joint Specialists. My mother was a patient and got lost in the mix with a staff departure, and we were a bit uncertain about what was happening with her brace. We decided to stop by, and Lisa welcomed us right away without hesitation. She took the time to thoroughly show us how to use the brace, ensuring we felt confident and informed. Her kindness, professionalism, and clear explanations made the entire process so much easier for us.

I had a wonderful experience with Durham Bone and Joint Specialists. The receptionist was so helpful when I got lost and couldn’t find the clinic! Sanchita was so warm and welcoming and didn’t make me feel like just a number. Dr. Frombach was kind and explained everything so I understood why I was having pain and how to fix it and he didn’t throw pain killers at me. He had a good sense of humour as well! I will definitely go back.

Ginny HughesDBJS Patient

This was my first initial consult visit with Dr. Daniel and then Dr. Gallay. I have to say first Daniel made me feel so comfortable by explaining the results of my X-ray and ultrasound. He took time to explain exactly what was going on in layman‘s terms making me more at ease. Then I saw the orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Gallay. He was very approachable, good bedside manner. I didn’t feel I was pushed out of the office. He answered all my questions. I have been to many surgeon offices over the years and I have to say, this office is one of the best I have been to thus far. Experts in their areas of orthopaedics for sure. The team is very caring, helpful and empathetic.

Michelle DaltonDBJS Patient

Both Dr Lobo and Dana were awesome on assessing and helping my father Frank, with his rotary cuff shoulder issue. Dana's initial assessment was bang on and I appreciated that she took the time to thoroughly question my dad on his shoulder to make sure they got it right.

I was referred to Dr. Gallay in early 2021 for a variety of issues pertaining to my right shoulder. I had the privilege of meeting with Dr. Gallay, who explained the procedure in detail, ensuring my comfort with it and asking if I had any questions. He performed arthroscopic surgery with decompression and capsular release in December 2021 and I am thrilled to say that I now live pain-free, with almost 100% range of motion restored to my right shoulder. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gallay, Sherry (his patient co-ordinator), Daniel, Kristin, and all the staff I've encountered. They have all been kind, caring, and compassionate. Highly recommend!
