"In November of 2023 I almost severed my palm and thumb with a power 8" radial saw. I was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and because the injury was so severe. was told I needed a hand surgeon. Dr. Jarrett operated on me and was absolutely incredible. His concern, care, and the repair of my hand was beyond anything I ever expected. I never could imagine that my hand could look and work again as it does now. Dr Jarrett is an amazing surgeon in addition to a compassionate, and caring person. The epitome of what a Dr. should be. I highly recommend him."

"Dr. C. Jarrett is a highly-skilled internationally recognized orthopedic surgeon. In December of 2023, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis on my right shoulder. Soon after my diagnosis, I began to search for the best surgeon available and Dr. Jarrett was the man; nationally recognized with many accomplishments in surgical procedure. I met with him and was immediately impressed by his knowledge and humble nature. He gave me the straight facts concerning my condition and offered his best opinion, which was complete shoulder replacement surgery. The surgery took place late January 2024 and today (Late April 2024) I feel like a new man almost ready to do anything. The terrible pain I endured for so long is gone. Thanks so much Dr. Jarrett. "
