Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute

Dr. Anderson spoke to my 9 year old daughter directly, and with humor and kindness. She immediately lost her fear and felt more at ease. His treatment plan was explained at length. He took time to answer any questions and make accommodations for a young girl. He referred us to the therapy department, in which I can not say enough wonderful things. Our PT molded two custom splints for our daughter, taking his time, making her feel important and comfortable, and giving her hopes of enjoying spring break. All in all, an awesome experience. Thank you!

Located Northeast in Liberty Township, this practice is doing wonders for their community. I can’t express my gratitude for these professionals in not only helping my bodily troubles, but in providing such great and comforting service to where I come out mentally better as well. It was great with top of the line health insurance, and equally great as self pay.

I saw Daniela for our visit for our son. She was very nice and she explained everything and answered my question. She even came back in because I forgot to ask her about something and just to be safe sent out labs. Thank you! My babies are everything to me and it was nice to see that you cared.

Trigger finger issue for few months became pretty bad considering I’m a server at a restaurant probably don’t need to be dropping customers food on them. I did feel immediate relief didn’t tickle but would do it again in a heartbeat! Dr Anderson was fast and efficient as was all the entire staff start to finish. Thank you

Kelly was knowledgeable and explained in detail what to expect. Friendly and very approachable providing a confidence in her abilities to meet my concerns.

Kirk, who works in therapy at the Chesterton location… Was absolutely amazing today!!! (As well as everybody else who worked around him. Everybody was so nice!)

Kirk was very pleasant, likable, good-natured, and extremely friendly.
I wish I could give him 10 stars!
He was very personable, and even made me laugh a couple times, even though I was having a cast put on. I have never had so much fun getting a cast put on a broken wrist 😂!

We even had fun, picking out a tie-dye cast & fun colors ☺.

I had a great experience at this location!

Other than Dr. Anderson (male) he is extremely cocky, and I am now going to St. Mary’s to have my wrist and my torn, ligaments surgically fixed. He told me I had a sprained wrist when I really had two extremely torn ligaments that needed surgically fixed. I do not recommend him. He has a total attitude problem.

Kelly took her time to go over my current pain relief routine. We talked about coordination with my surgeon and how to wean me off morphine based drugs. I appreciate her taking the time to understand and encourage me. Thank you Kelly.

Kelly Barnes and Anita Rao are great at what they do.
Both my husband and I have had great results after receiving injections in our back. It's great knowing we can start the new year without pain.
We have high recommended Lakeshore Bone & Joint to friends and family.

Kelly was concerned about my symptoms and immediately confirmed her concerns with Dr. RAO, She remained calm and professional and never caused me to be upset. She explained their concerns and the i.mediate steps they were taking to examine these symptoms so as to be able to determine cause of pain and plan resolution.

The atmosphere is eclectic & light & bright; just puts you in a good mood. Food was delicious & very enjoyable staff. I will come back & tell friends. So happy this place came to town!

Staff all very friendly, almost no waiting in waiting room. Didn't have to wait too long after being staged in exam room. Dr. was easy to talk too. I would recommend Dr. Damitz to my friends and family.

Dr. R. Anderson and her P.A., Gage (hope I got his name recalled, correctly) were very personable and professional. It was my first visit to her for an arm issue. They were thorough and conservative. I did elect to get an injection in my upper arm prior to physical therapy, and it’s quickly helped. She reassured me that this injection would not be a (painful) big deal, and she was correct! It just created a little deep pressure and was done before I could even react to it. Really happy it was a positive experience with LBJI, the doctor, and her PA. Thank you, LBJI!

Very efficient and pleasant. Never have to wait!! Dr Rao is the greatest!! I never feel rushed. She is very thoughtful and thorough.

Do tor was thorough; explained results of X-rays and all poss treatment (s) available to me. Appreciated her thoroughness.

Kelly Barnes PA-C, always has an AWESOME attitude and personality, and openly displays her compassion for the patient and the pain they may be experiencing! Definitely a valuable asset to Lakeshore Bone and Joint!

Dr Rao is the most compassionate caring & absolutely amazing doctor I have ever had. Her MA Charles, nurse Anita, and PA Kelly are all excellent.. Dr Anton Thompkins is the Best!

Kelli is very easy to talk to! She is attentive & you are able to ask questions about your concerns & how those can be addressed without feeling like she is rushing out the door! She offers the invitation to reach out to her if any issues would come up prior to your next appointment. Presents you with, & discusses your options to make you more comfortable within pain management! She is taking a new direction at LBJI & I wish her well, but we will truly miss working with her! She is just awesome!

The ladies at reception area are always polite. Kelly always seems to be honest with me. Might not like what she tells me. But appreciate it

Dr. Damitz is caring, and really wants to figure out the best course of action for your issue. Also, he takes time to explain what he is doing and he wants my input on how well the treatment is working to determine if he needs to make changes.
