"My experience at West Hills Hospital was superior and well above medical treatment standards. The physicians, nurses and staff successfully eradicated (my disease) with unbelievable care and compassion. Their attention to ensuring my well-being was exceptional."
"I have learned a great deal from Dr Post about the management of patients with anterior knee pain and/or patellar instability. I have never seen a more thoughtful and organized physician who considers each patient as an individual. I am grateful to call Dr Xtra a colleague."
"I would like to make it clear, that the good people of Morgantown, and indeed all of West Virginia have a genuine World Class orthopedic surgeon in their midst.
