I have trusted him gor several injuries, most recently a damaged knee. He recommended not cutting and to use rest and low meds. I was very happy that he wasn't so quick to jump into surgery. Great guy and very freindly.

Dr. Legant is the most awesome MD I've ever had the pleasure to see. Excellent bedside manner and extremely skilled. His office staff are wonderful. I'm an RN and I know a good doctor when I meet one. Dr. Legant is the best!

I had a total knee replacement on 10/13/18 by Dr Carothers and the results are excellent! Pre op was excellent from start and just staying in the hospital for 24 hours was great. The pain was managed great, around a 3 out of 10. The arthritis in the knee is gone and at 4 weeks my bend of the knee was around 120 degrees which I only had about 80 degrees for around 20 years. I now can go up and down stairs without hopping and pain. If I have to do the other knee later on I would not hesitate!

Dr. Carothers is a magician!! He recently did both my knees at two different times. I was skeptical about having the second one done after the first because there was quite a bit of pain but only for about a week. During that week I did manage with prescribed pain meds. I figured that I could put up with pain for one week to have a lifetime of no pain so I had the second one done about two months later. I am so happy I did!!! It's been three months since the second one and I'm good as new. THANK YOU DR. C.!

My son was in an atv accident. Lost his tendons, one of his arteries and had severe nerve damage to his wrist/forearm. First dr (can't remember his name) wanted to amputate his forearm. Dr.Mercer was contacted for a second opinion and she decided to attempt to save his arm. She replaced his tendons, full nerve reconstruction and removed the damaged tissue in his arm. If it wasn't for Dr.Mercer my son would've lost his hand. I would recommend her to anybody who is looking for a hand specialist.

Dr. Mercer is caring, friendly, concerned about my hand that I injured. The staff is also fantastic and caring. I would recommend this Doctor if you have any type of injury to any extremities. In my opinion she is a great Doctor.
