DR. STEPHEN GALLAY - DURHAM BONE & JOINT SPECIALISTS REVIEWS
I would like to take this time to thank Dr S Gallay and staff for taking the best care of me in a bad shoulder situation. I had to drive over 4.5 hours to the appointments, sometimes requiring a overnight stay but I did not mind the travel to get the best possible outcome . My family Dr here in Windsor was floored when I got in to see Dr. Gallay, get a MRI, go to pre op then the operation in less than eight weeks. Here in Windsor a MRI is a year away and they like to go in blind and try to figure it out as they go, Dr Gallay gets the MRI and goes in with a solid plan that he outlines to you before the operation, therefore your recovery time is a lot less. after 8 weeks i'm at 80% recovery and feeling great. I cant say this enough, If you need surgery Dr. Gallay should be your first and only choice and you will be amazed how nice of a person Dr, Galley is, he really cares about you and it shows.
Doctor Gallay came highly recommended, I felt comfortable at my appointment. He explained everything in terms anyone can understand at pre-op as well as post-op. I have already recommended Docor Gallay to a couple of friends that are struggling with shoulder issues. You will have great results if you use this doctor...
Dr Steven gallay is a life changer. He completely fixed my torn shoulder and I’m fully able to lift weights and have a healthier lifestyle. Amazing surgeon, I highly recommend this doctor.

DR. JOEL LOBO - DURHAM BONE AND JOINT SPECIALISTS REVIEWS
My first experience with a specialist and I was a little stressed. Dr. Lobo put that stress at ease immediately. His professionalism and bedside manner is fantastic.He left me feeling better and optimistic about my recovery. His assistant Linda and the whole team at Durham bone and joint specialists is top notch. Thank you very much. Keep up the great work. - K
My husband had arthroscopic shoulder surgery with Dr Lobo. He was able to have a procedure through a scope which would have been done with an “open” method by many other surgeons. His approach led to faster recovery and incredible results. After my husband being in pain for 12 months, ten minutes in this doctors office and he was diagnosed and scheduled for a surgery that completely fixed his pain and got him back to the gym and his job.
Dr. Lobo repaired my shoulder (posterior labrum), and six months later, I have the same strength and range of movement in both shoulders. He did an incredible job. Highly recommend.

DR. HAMDI BENFAYED - DURHAM BONE & JOINT SPECIALISTS REVIEWS
Dr Benfayed did a total knee replacement for me and it went great! No issues what so ever. He’s not a talker but did great work on my leg. His staff at his office are incredible.
I had a scope on my knee done with Dr. Benfayed. I have zero complaints. I was walking with a limp for a year given what I was told by another doctor. I went to him for a second opinion, got the scope done and I was walking fine immediately and fine after the swelling came back and subsided. Especially after exercising on my legs extensively. he didn't tell me that but it really wasn't his job to supply an exercise plan after.
Had a Oxford knee replacement by Dr. Benfayed and couldnt be happier. my quality of life has greatly improved.
