In my orthopedic practice, I prioritize patient and family education, drawing upon evidence-based medicine to guide care.

Knowledge is not just power; it's the foundation of trust and collaboration – and hopefully it makes things a little less scary!

    Dr Squiers did an absolutely phenomenal job. They answered all our questions thoroughly and efficiently. They were personable and friendly. They put our kiddo at ease while explaining every potential outcome. We've been part of the multicare system for over 12 years. We've had some great drs and some less than stellar drs. Dr. Squiers was hands down one of the best medical professionals we've ever seen.

    Dr. Squiers was absolutely amazing! He took his time during the appointment, he never rushed my daughter or myself, he listened attentively and he answered and re-answered questions when we didn't understand something. Apparently my daughter's case is very unique and is something he's never seen before which initially scared us, but he did a great job making us feel at ease. He asked a lot of questions, his physical exam was very thorough and again, he took his time. We will continue to see Dr. Squiers and will recommend him to anyone needing his specialty!

    Dr. Squiers was exactly who we needed 4 weeks ago when my son was injured. He walked us through all of his images, reassured us that his recovery looks favorable despite delays in recognizing this fracture and I felt heard and this my son's well being and future health was a priority

    Dr Squires is the most personable, open doctor I've ever met. He listens to the patient and parents and explains complex health issues with ease and offers multiple treatment options instead of just one. I wish all doctors were more like him!!

    Dr Squire was terrific. He spoke to me and my daughter about the plan moving forward and he took the time to explain everything to my daughter. He was on time to our appointment(which never happens) and very kind. I would definitely see him again. Great experience

    Everyone was so kind to us and is very good with kids. I liked how they talked more to my 5 year old son than me.

    Some of my family have seen other doctors for the same type of thing and have not had very successful visits. So I have let them know how well everything went and how pleased I was with everything
