Testimonials
What Hillary has to say
Comprehensive and Caring Orthopedic Care
“Dr. McNamara and monadnock orthopedics are great! I have been dealing with back pain for most of my life and they take good care of me there. McNamara’s assessment was very thorough, he had helpful suggestions for home exercises, and he was able to administer trigger point injections in office the same day. The office responds quickly to requests and the DOs advocate for their patients to receive the proper diagnostic imaging/best care possible.” – Hillary

Innovative Orthopedic Solutions That Work
“Have you ever had so much back pain that you didn’t know what to do? Did you ever wish a doctor could help you deal with your unimaginable pain? I know I have, and I found the guy. No, I’m not talking some magic drug. I’m talking about an amazing orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Terrence McNamara in Peterborough, NH. Now I know what you’re thinking … after my initial back surgery, the last thing I wanted was for someone to open me back up again. But Dr. Mac uses this much less invasive technique that he’s perfected over a thousand times with incredible results. It’s not my place to explain how it works, but I am here to tell you that it really does work and that Dr. Mac truly has given my life back to me. Sounds too good to be true? I know that I sound like an infomercial, but you really have to meet him to find out what he can do for you. I hope he can do for you what he’s done for me.” -Mark

Most importantly, though, Dr. McNamara works with his pain patients to find what works best for them, and to adjust their pain management plan when necessary.

Now I know what you’re thinking … after my initial back surgery, the last thing I wanted was for someone to open me back up again. But Dr. Mac uses this much less invasive technique that he’s perfected over a thousand times with incredible results. It’s not my place to explain how it works, but I am here to tell you that it really does work and that Dr. Mac truly has given my life back to me. Sounds too good to be true? I know that I sound like an infomercial, but you really have to meet him to find out what he can do for you. I hope he can do for you what he’s done for me." -Mark
