Dr. Syd Jones has to be the nicest and kindest doctor I have ever encountered. He truly wants to help you get better. He gives you time to ask questions and makes you feel that you matter. You walk away feeling better for meeting with him. I can't say enough about what a wonderful orthopedic doctor he is. Many thanks to Orthopedic Associates.

Very impressed with this office. Check in was easy, and although there was a line, there was a very short wait. The in-house x-ray was impressive - my doctor had the pictures less than 15 minutes after they were taken. Felt very informed of my diagnosis and options. Highly recommend this office

As a new patient at Orthopedic Associates, I was very happy. I live much closer to Redding and have NOT had much luck for the past several months going to the local doctors there. It has been well worth the 3xfurther drive to go to Chico. I found them efficient, business like and reliable. They actually contact me in a timely manner, return my phone calls soon and schedule appointments quickly. Gee, what a concept!

I would highly recommend Dr. Granlund complete professional and all around good guy. His staff is super friendly and always willing to go the extra mile for the patient. I've seen many Doctors in my 54 years and after my car wreck. He and staff are truly a five star group.

I have always had a very positive experience with this medical facility. Both on the phone and in person, the ENTIRE staff have been helpful, friendly, polite and professional. They always take any time necessary to address your needs. They truly care about you as a patient. My experience with Dr. Leonard Brazil and Zinnie and Dr. Phillip Jones and Susanna has been especially great and appreciated.

They run a very organized and efficient office. The wait times are very minimal and always on time. From the doctors to the medical assistants to the office personnel; everyone is a 5-star rating! They go above and beyond normal expectations.
