Testimonials

"I felt pain shoot up my arms immediately after I fell, I knew something was wrong. The Watervliet hospital referred me to Dr. Postma. After telling me about the fracture in my wrist, he just held my hand for a minute, explained everything, and made me feel less afraid about the whole idea of surgery. If I need any kind of orthopedic care in the future, Dr. Postma and his team will be my first choice."

"My teenage daughter was having hip pain which was unresponsive to treatment. She was very frustrated and could not participate in cross-country. My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Postma, who was in contact with us right away. He gave us a good direction for treatment, and now my daughter is starting to run again with much less hip pain."

"Dr. Postma explained my procedure thoroughly. Afterwards, there was nothing for me to fear. He put me at ease."

"I would recommend this man to anybody. He has my complete confidence. I am not going to just let anyone operate on me. He made me feel at ease. He explained things in layman's terms to where I could understand. I am walking on that leg today. I did not have to miss any time from work. I just had to take the weekend off."

"He has done an excellent job. I have been going to him for ten years since my first shoulder surgery ten years ago."

"Dr. Postma's seminar put all my concerns to rest and helped me to completely trust the man."

"My surgeon, Dr. Postma, was wonderful. He came in and saw me before surgery. He joked around and made me feel really comfortable."

"Dr. Postma was very informative. He answered my questions and talked to me and told me what to expect. "

"Dr. Postma is so personable. He took the time to explain everything in a caring and kind way."

"I truly like Dr. Postma and trust him completely. This is the third surgery that I've had done with him —  he's wonderful!"

"Dr. Postma and his team talked to me as someone who was not educated, but I could understand. I have a lot of confidence in him. He wouldn't put up with anything other than perfect."

“Dr. Postma and his team went above and beyond for my mom. We understood the risks going into surgery, but our goal was always quality of life for her, not quantity. It was a very emotional experience for all of us because we didn’t know what the outcome would be, but Dr. Postma gave us our mom back.”

"Dr. Postma got down on my level and didn’t rush through my appointment like I was just another patient.”

“Dr. Postma and his entire team delivered a perfect experience.”

"I appreciated everything about Dr. Postma. He explained what was going on and the ‘why’ behind it. He took the time to really examine my knee and talked through the various treatment options. [After surgery], I felt like he gave me a big part of my life back.”

"I was really thankful that Dr. Postma took the time to listen to my concerns and explain my treatment options. He was very compassionate and professional. I never felt rushed.” 

"Dr. Postma has a great ability to listen to people.”

“I appreciated Dr. Postma’s honesty about surgery being the best option. I had 100% confidence in him.”

“I had full trust in Dr. Postma and knew him already because he had operated on my daughter’s knee and repaired a torn meniscus.”
