About Me
My goal is to keep patient’s mobile with the most reasonable nonoperative and operative treatment options. I work closely with a team of professions in the office and the operating room to bring world class total joint care to my patients using the most up to date knowledge. I stay current in advances in total joint replacement by taking part in a number of local and national committees and societies focused on total joint surgery. I look forward to the opportunity to treat you or your family member!

Patient Comments
I didn't feel like he did much except give me a sheet of paper with a few exercises on it.
Jul 31, 2024
Cut & dry no extra discussion
Jul 30, 2024
Dr Myers is spectacular.
Jun 29, 2024
Awesome! I would recommend him to anyone with a similar problem
Jun 11, 2024
I do not wish to see Dr. Myers again and I want another doctor. I think he is robotic and don't seem to connect with new patients. He was horrible, unfriendly, and appears non-interested in his patients.
May 26, 2024
[...] This visit was very rushed.
May 25, 2024
Came in late, didn't apologize, never introduced himself. Rushed through visit. Worried about getting his AI thing to work on his phone. [...] Made me seem like I wasted his time. [...]
May 15, 2024
He appeared rushed.
May 13, 2024
Good / excellent
May 09, 2024
Wonderful, doctor.
Apr 11, 2024
A very rushed experience. Little time to hear my concern. Do appreciate PT exercises. He was knowledgeable but too rushed!
Apr 09, 2024
Did recommend to several people and Dr. Myers did hip replacements on 2 of them.
Apr 03, 2024
Not much eye contact with patient.
Apr 01, 2024
Like how he says we have to follow his Rehab (6 wks) on stretch, movement. 10 different exercises found on my cell phone.
Mar 15, 2024
I received good information from Dr. Myers but he spoke so quickly I'm not sure I absorbed all his information.
Mar 01, 2024
Exceptional care was provided
Feb 25, 2024
Dr. Myers was wonderful
Jan 19, 2024
I HAPPY WITH DR.MYERS
Jan 01, 2024
EXPERIENCE COULD NOT BE BETTER.
Dec 27, 2023
Has no compassion empathy nor anything caring about him. He was very rude and cold. [...]
Dec 17, 2023
He was not the most pleasant person. I needed him to know who I am and my activity level etc. He said " I am going to ask you questions" which ok BUT you need to hear me also. [...]
Nov 27, 2023
This provider puts his patients first by having concerns about their health and safety with their benefits compared to negative effects to make a well informed outcome.
Nov 19, 2023
EXXCELLENT
Nov 08, 2023
Dr Myers is an exceptional orthopedic surgeon. Will continue with him for any future issues and will gladly refer friends and family to his care!
Nov 08, 2023
I have recommended Dr. Myers.
Oct 22, 2023
La experiencia que tengo desde que estoy recibiendo atenci?n m?dica con mi Dr, es excelente
Oct 06, 2023
[...] I felt he was rushed for time and I felt rushed when he cut me off, interrupted, and cut to the chase in the middle of what I was trying to explain. As a result, while he did answer many of my questions and he did give me some very helpful information, there was no time for me to assimilate his answers and ask any subsequent questions that they generated. [...]
Sep 27, 2023
Dr. Myers was great!
Sep 27, 2023
Because he was behind schedule I wasnt given the time to ask about the process or post op details.
Sep 09, 2023
Dr. Myers is professional, very well qualified to cover all realms of recovery from my surgery.
Aug 31, 2023
Not a very happy provider, maybe having a bad day
Aug 30, 2023
Following my statement regarding symptoms, a very distracted Dr. Myers stared at me and said"Sorry, was there a question in there?"
Aug 26, 2023
Considering the day my caregiver had already had, he was still able to take time with me.
Aug 04, 2023
Dr. Myers was excellent in performing both hip replacements. He is easy to discuss any questions & surgeries. Very caring!
Jul 27, 2023
Always takes time to explain everything completely
Jul 26, 2023
Dr. Myers was professional. I would use him again for orthopedic procedure
Jul 03, 2023
Dr. Myers was potentially nice but I wish he could have slowed down a bit vs fast talked. I felt like a cog in a line. He said a few times that he was very busy and this added to my anxiety and I felt pretty rushed which also added to my not being able to ask and get all my questions answered. [...] Dr Myers also referred me to a spine Dr but vague on who to see. [...] I am still confused on who to follow up w/ after the other consultations. Dr. Myers said I could use Mychart but that he would not have time to answer.
Jun 27, 2023
Seemed to brush off concerns I had, and suggested it could be a different problem. Did nothing to show me why he thought this.
Jun 19, 2023
Keep up the good work
Jun 12, 2023
There was a lot of information on my after visit summary about things they said we discussed at the appointment, and we hadn't discussed almost any of those things. I wish he had brought them up at the appointment. He asked if I had any questions, but I guess I didn't know what to ask at the time. It would have been nice if he had brought up all those issues so that I could let him know my concerns.
Jun 09, 2023
Excellent physician but he has a brusque manner and is short on explanations and discussion with patient.
May 03, 2023
He was very rude and had no concern for my issues, did not seem to care about what I was saying.
Apr 29, 2023
Dr. Myers is an excellent doctor with a fabulous bedside manner (real) and also his PA is as well!! Love them, they make the experience of going there pretty great!!
Apr 22, 2023
Dr. Myers supported my decision for bilateral knee repair (1 at a time) and he was careful to... that injections was not a long term or short term reasonable situation.
Apr 18, 2023
I feel lucky to have healthcare this good
Apr 15, 2023
Dr. Myers operated on my left hip a year ago. I am trusting him again with right hip. Obviously, I had a great experience.
Apr 02, 2023
I have confidence with Dr. Myers.
Mar 31, 2023
Good
Mar 29, 2023
Dr. Myers has a very difficult time acknowledging any unfavorable conditions and outcomes that come from a surgery. He appears to be more concerned with statistics and ensuring he has a check in the "Excellent Outcome" box. Conversations in private in the office do not reflect the same level of interest in his notes. Anything new that may cause additional conditions are immediately dismissed as "never seen before" to the point it makes the patient feel less than acknowledge or questioned in a way that just compounds the recovery pathway.
Mar 28, 2023
I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Myers and his staff as my orthopedic team.
Mar 25, 2023
He acted as if I was wasting his time when I wanted answers about treatment options, alternative care, pain relief
Mar 17, 2023
We had a conversation regarding to my need to be heard and he made sure to set aside time to provide his full attention-"I'm grateful he did that!"
Feb 06, 2023
He was very nice. Explain everything to me and made it all clear to me
Jan 26, 2023
I was treated like a regular person at this office
Jan 14, 2023
This was my second appointment with him, and both experiences were very negative. He made several negative comments towards me, the hospital and I left each appointment very discouraged and insulted. My questions were never fully answered and I was treated like I was annoying. He has horrible bedside manner and I am reconsidering going through this surgery now and with this doctor. [...]. I've had several doctors in my life, from all areas of practice and have never been treated so poorly.
Jan 13, 2023
Dr. Myers did both my hip replacements and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. He is the best!
Jan 06, 2023
I was very frustrated at the end of my visit. Did not feel like the doctor listened fully to me but instead answered before I was finished asking and therefore did not answer what I was asking. Overall attitude and way of interacting with me was not acceptable to me.
Dec 27, 2022
The doctor was very thorough in explaining what he was going to do in surgery; was just as thorough in explaining what I needed to do after surgery.
Dec 24, 2022
Very straightforward and honest. Explained what we needed to do as a team and I welcomed the process.
Dec 23, 2022
Dr. Myers and his team provided immediate relief from the terrible pain which had developed in my arthritic left knee. Thanks to them I can walk again!
Dec 19, 2022
Provider was very nice and have seen him in past and recommended to others who also were happy with their visits,
Dec 18, 2022
Dr. is great for surgery [...]
Dec 16, 2022
Dr Myers went out of his way to make time for me whenever I needed him. He even fit me in between surgery procedures for checkups on my fractured knee cap!
Dec 10, 2022
Dr. Myers is very matter-of-fact and doesn't have great interpersonal skills, but that's totally fine in this context. He's clearly a skilled and knowledgeable surgeon, and that's what matters to me.
Dec 08, 2022
[...] Very agitated and rude.. Talked to me like I was a complete idiot! [...] Would never recommend him to anyone!!!
Nov 14, 2022
I have recommended him to a relative.
Oct 28, 2022
He is a great doctor
Oct 11, 2022
Dr. Myers is the best hip replacement doctor there is.
Oct 03, 2022
Dr. Myers seemed to be in a hurry. His expertise was impressive[...]
Sep 28, 2022
Dr. Myers took time, made me feel comfortable and made sure I understood my further recovery.
Sep 12, 2022
So far so good !
Sep 11, 2022
Dr Thomas Myers is a great doctor
Sep 10, 2022
Both Dr. Myers and Christine (NP) we're excellent.
Sep 04, 2022
Very pleased.
Aug 11, 2022
Best surgeon and team!
Jul 08, 2022
I just felt like I wasn't given enough time to discuss my problem. I know he was running way behind and I sympathized with that, but I felt like I should have been asked more questions and listened to. [...] I didn't feel like I had a chance to fully describe my problem.
Jun 20, 2022
Care at the Highland joint replacement center is superior and Dr Myers definitely represents the superior care I needed And expected as Island
Jun 19, 2022
Dr. Myers is an excellent surgeon which is the most important thing. He is very business like and answers all questions. A little more friendly demeanor would go a long way with patients. Fortunately, his NP Zack Lamb with whom I spent most of the time with is very knowledgeable and has an excellent patient demeanor. Dr. Myers did surprise me by calling me the day before surgery on [...], to see how I was doing. I found that to be comforting to know he took the time to call has patients prior to surgery. I am very satisfied with Dr. Myers work as a surgeon and his staff. They appear to work very well together as a team. I would definitely recommend him as an outstanding surgeon.
Jun 17, 2022
[...] I felt Dr. Myers was very attentive. LOL, sometimes I'm told things that are frightening, but MUST be said. He is very 'mater of fact and gently to the point'. I like that. [...] So far I am on board with Dr. Myers.
Jun 15, 2022
Dr. Myers was excellent answering all my questions and being very patient with me. PA Zack was great too!!!
May 20, 2022
Doctor was great [...].
May 15, 2022
This was a post-op visit, and the doctor answered all my questions and gave me the guidelines I needed to continue my healing.
May 07, 2022
Very caring and explained everything so I understood.
Apr 29, 2022
Dr. Myers connects, explains, is clear and communicates well.
Apr 22, 2022
I will say to others, Dr. Myers has poor bedside manner however I had an excellent outcome with my total knee replacement.... Only if one complies with Dr. Myers completely.
Apr 22, 2022
Good experience
Apr 20, 2022
I was extremely satisfied with my interaction with the doctor and confident in the surgery.
Apr 09, 2022
Dr. Myers and PA Lamb we're a great team. Dr. Myers inspired confidence that he could help me.
Apr 02, 2022
Doctor was rude and VERY POOR bedside matter.
Mar 22, 2022
He took the time to tell me what I needed to know and what I need to do to get through the surgery
Mar 21, 2022
He did not introduce himself. Did not summarize the visit. Very poor eye contact.
Mar 19, 2022
My first time with this Dr.. While he was pleasant, he seemed rushed and commented was busy,( not in those words). No time to establish a dialogue with him any further than the 5 minutes I was under his care. [...]
Mar 15, 2022
Dr. Myers seemed very hurried [...]
Mar 12, 2022
I liked the doctor, he is well rated and took his time talking to me about my situation. I had the feeling that he had no care one way or another if I came back to him or not or whether I went through with the surgery. Maybe that was the right approach, but not one I have encountered before. I would trust him to do my surgery if I decide to have it.
Mar 06, 2022
Knows his stuff, but there's an opportunity to improve communication/listening skills, otherwise known as "bedside manner".
Mar 06, 2022
Dr. Myers is great.
Mar 04, 2022
First visit but I think I would recommend him to others!
Feb 24, 2022
I was relieved to meet Dr. Myers, especially when I had been pleased with my former orthopedic surgeon. I feel very comfortable with him.
Feb 23, 2022
I have recommended both the hospital and Dr. Myers.
Feb 18, 2022
