Patient Reviews

I had two total hip replacements in three months. The second surgery was just completed three weeks ago. The staff is very good at what they do. They are professional and provide quick responses to questions. The surgeon, Dr. Mudd, is top-notch. I have no major complications. Andrea answered all my concerns. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Kramer is an excellent doctor. He is calm and relaxed. I think he fixed my knees very good - I was kind of shaky about getting them done but after he did the first one I had no worries letting him do the second one!

Over the past year, I have had three appointments with Katie and each time she was very professional, attentive, and caring. She always took the time to listen to my numerous questions and gave me complete and informative answers.

Dr. Doser was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. He accurately assessed my fracture, fully explained the surgery to correct it, and completed the surgery just as he had explained. My post-op visit took exactly 36 minutes from the moment I arrived. Dr. Doser not only removed the old cast himself, but he also personally removed all the stitches and applied the new cast himself. I was impressed with the personal care.

I saw Bethanie, who knew immediately what was going on with my knee and what to do about it; she was great. Bethanie, Dr. Burke, Michelle, and the entire practice are wonderful healing angels. I don’t think I would be functioning, walking, and moving if it weren’t for them and their team. They are absolute angels on earth. I would go anywhere for Dr. Burke and Bethanie.
