From the second Dr. Bassett evaluated our 14 y.o. son after a baseball injury, she knew exactly what was wrong. During the first few months of Covid lockdowns, with out-patient centers just opening up again, Dr. Bassett got him into surgery within days, repaired an ugly bucket-handle meniscus tear in his knee, referred him for PRP treatment in her office , and was honest and clear about the road ahead. With a kid that wanted to get back to sports so badly, Dr. Bassett was gentle but firm -and communicated with him in a way that he couldn’t help but agree with her when it came to his health and his future.
We are forever grateful to Dr. Bassett. It’s been 7 months and our son just skied double-black diamond runs 6 hours a day, 3 days in a row on our ski trip (as 15 year olds do)!

Bicep Repair

Nothing but the best from Dr. Bassett. Surgery and recovery went better than expected after not knowing anything about the injury. Dr. Bassett was very helpful with every aspect of the surgery and recovery. The recovery went smoothly with no pain at all. Strength has returned faster than expected as well. I have and would recommend Dr Bassett to all family and friends who have ailments that need to be fixed.

Dr. Bassett took a very good care of me. She explained everything very clearly, answered all my questions, did a fantastic job fixing my knee! I would highly recommend her to everyone I know.

i had my ac joint done on my shoulder and when i first knew about it i didnt know anything about what was going to happen but i had the surgery done and the 1 week is gonna be hard but after that it gets better now i am back at work and the arm is better then my other one that i didnt have done haha but i would totally recomend coming here to get your shoulder done

Dr. Bassett is a pro! I felt comfortable with her immediately. I could tell she had plenty of experience with knee pain as she related my experience with other patients who wanted to run. She communicates very well and we worked on a plan that we both felt comfortable with based on my goals and level of activity. During surgery I felt comfortable and had a great experience before and after. Her follow up is excellent!

i had quad tendon rupture,from the start to end six months care was excellent

Dr. Bassett is one of the smartest, professional Dr I ever worked with. I believe she really cares about her patients. And takes time to answer any questions no matter how big or small they are.

I can honestly say that my experience with Dr. Bassett and OINJ was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I met her, I felt comfortable with all of her advice and options moving forward after I tore my ACL and needed surgery. She is so knowledgeable, patient, kind and reassuring with her patients. She made me feel comfortable and at ease every step of the way. She was always there when I needed her even for the smallest question or concern.
She was also in constant communication with my physical therapist at Ivy Rehab who worked together as a team to help me regain my strength and ultimately return to the level I was at before surgery.
Although some people feel that having orthopedic surgery in the city is the best option, I can confidently say that choosing to have my surgery locally with Dr. Bassett was the absolute best choice I could have made.

I had a plica removal surgery in January. After a year, 5 different orthopedic specialist's opinions and several months of physical therapy Dr. Bassett finally figured out what was wrong and got rid of all of my pain! I has been 3 months since my surgery and I am completely pain free.

I suffered a torn labrum and had Dr. Bassett repair this through surgery. She was great at explaining in detail everything that was wrong with my shoulder and how she would fix it through surgery. She was great with the follow ups and well informative!

They are always professional.

I feel GREAT thanks to the care you've given me i so appricate
the work and the comfort that you guys have given me. you guys are the best.so thank you for given me my knee back.

The procedure I had done was to repair a tear in the long head of the biceps. The diagnosis was done very quickly and accurately using the results of an mri to determine the urgency of surgery. The mri reveal the tendon was barely hanging on by a threat to its natural attachment location and there was not fear of losing the tendon and complicating surgery. The operation went very smoothly as well as the recovery. Personally I thought that the recovery would take a lot longer. The SLAP tear was also cleaned up and feels better than prior to surgery when sleeping.

Dr Bassett was wonderful from initial consult and post surgically. She was thorough in her explanation of my condition and her surgical expertise was superb.

In August I separated my AC joint in my shoulder. The first week of September I got surgery and have been doing better ever since. The recovery went super smooth and was easy. 4 to 5 months later everything feels great and now I can go to school and start my career. Thank you for everything!

I had torn my ACL and both meniscus in high school soccer my senior year. I received ACL reconstruction surgery and my meniscus was repaired as well and I believe that with Dr. Bassett, this went as smooth as it could have possibly gone. She was very good at communicating and answering my questions whenever I had any, and after I told them that I needed to be ready for College soccer by a certain time, they worked with me to get there, doing it safely and cautiously all the time. You can tell that they really care about you here and that is something that provided me comfort especially through my long recovery. Thank you! :)

Excellent the surgery went well and recovery was quick and easy.

Dr. Bassett made a really bad situation into a pleasant process. I had a ruptured distal bicep tendon and a 6 month old at home. She saw fit me in as quick as she could with a same day appointment from the injury to surgery was only limited to the time requirement of a COVID test. Along the process I stayed on track to her very specific and detailed plan and as long as I was on track she was flexible with my care plan. I hope I never have to see her again, but if I do I know that I am in great hands. Dr. Bassett is by far the best surgeon I have had as a hockey and rugby player I have had a few.

She has a great bedside manner and was very through in explaining the process from start to finish. What to expect, exactly what she did during the surgery and was great with my follow up appointments prompt and on time.

Dr. Bassett has been wonderful in her care of me after I ruptured my achilles tendon playing tennis. From her compassionate demeanor to her excellent clinical skills, I would recommend her to anyone seeking orthopedic care. She had me in a walking boot two weeks after surgery, while other providers may keep patients in a cast/splint for longer. This decision helped me to progress faster in my recovery, while still allowing me to heal safely. I have met others who have ruptured their achilles who still have difficulty moving around a year later. Today I am three months post surgery and getting stronger and more mobile every day. I am very grateful to Dr. Bassett and encourage anyone seeking orthopedic care to see her!
