"Dr. Marks is the person to go to for all your hand and elbow issues! I’ve had carpal tunnel surgery on both my hands; five years later, I can honestly say I’d do it again! I just recently came back for a different reason: I had an injection into my right hand to help with issues I’ve had in my trigger finger. Twelve hours afterward, I could feel the tips of my fingers, and today, 24 hours later, the swelling has gone down and feels a lot better!! Honestly, after my right and left hand surgeries, you could tell because I was not dropping stuff all the time!!" -J.H.

"For over 15 years, I visited numerous orthopedic specialists, only to be repeatedly told I was 'too young' for a knee replacement. It felt as though the focus was more on continuous, profitable treatments than on actually fixing the problem. I was deeply discouraged and on the verge of giving up hope. That changed when Father God blessed me with an appointment with Dr. Smithey. From the moment I walked out of our first meeting, my faith and hope were restored. Dr. Smithey carries himself with grace, kindness, and truth. He is an excellent listener who makes the process about the patient and the team's ability to make you whole again. Thanks to Dr. Smithey and his incredible team, I can enjoy life again without the constant fear of my knee giving out. I am forever grateful that they were placed on my spiritual journey to help me walk again. If I ever need work on my other knee, I know exactly who I’ll be calling. God Bless and keep you!" -T.S.

"I was impressed that I was accepted as a walk-in. I was also impressed with the knowledge of Chase Crumpton. He explained everything in a matter which I was able to understand, and even though my condition was severe, I was able to get some immediate relief. Would I recommend Chase Crumpton to my friends? Absolutely." -J.K.

🏌️‍♂️ Pain on the inside of your elbow? It could be Golfer’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis).

This common condition is caused by overuse of the muscles and tendons that control the wrist and fingers—leading to pain, tenderness, weakness, and difficulty with everyday activities like lifting, gripping, or swinging a club.

Our Occupational Therapy team at Specialty Orthopedic Group offers personalized treatment plans to help reduce pain, restore strength, and improve function so you can get back to doing what you love.

Services are available at our Oxford, Starkville, and Tupelo locations.

"Dr. Cal Adams is, hands down, the most professional, compassionate, and friendly provider that I have seen. He listens and gives you options and his professional opinion on your case, treatment, and recovery. The entire staff should be included in this as well - from front desk, triage, X-ray tech, nurse, and surgery scheduling, as well as checkout!! Top-notch!!!!" -C.C.

"Dr. Steward is great with my 16-year-old son who tore his ACL. He was pretty nervous, but Dr. Steward did a phenomenal job reassuring him along the way. He explained everything step by step and answered all questions we had. The entire staff is so kind, polite, and welcoming!" -M.M.
