WILLIAM M. ISBELL, MD REVIEWS

Doctor Isbell was very friendly and had wonderful bedside manners. And made me as a patient feel comfortable. And the overall atmosphere was nice from the front desk to the staff that showed me to the back. And their setup as an Orthopedic office 10 out of 10. This is why I give them 5.

Very pleasant good natured doctor. He listened to my complaint and explained my X-ray findings to me. He gave me a detailed plan moving forward. The office staff was efficient and very friendly. I felt welcomed and instantly at ease! Thank you.

Dr. Isbell was wonderful! He explained things so I could understand the procedure to take place and why. He also answered all my questions....I had many, yet he was very patient. Thank you Dr. Isbell.

JOSEPH U. BARKER, MD REVIEWS

Following a complete patella tendon tear, I was referred to Dr. Barker and had a fantastic experience. He thoroughly explained my injury and the surgery, answering all my questions both before and after. After surgery, both he and his office staff were consistently pleasant, helpful, and easy to work with. They made a very difficult situation much more manageable. I highly recommend Dr. Barker for his expertise and patient-focused care.

Dr. Barker is an excellent orthopedic surgeon and physician. He has helped me sort out hip pain that I’ve been having for several months. I have also worked with him in a professional capacity for many years. He is universally respected by his patients, his surgical colleagues, and his group’s staff. I highly recommend him.

Dr Barker was kind and extremely knowledgeable. He repaired knee damage 10 years ago and is helping me once again. I highly recommend Dr Barker and his whole staff.

TYLER STEVEN WATTERS, MD REVIEWS

I highly recommend Dr. Watters and his team for anyone considering knee replacement surgery. The surgical outcome was excellent, and the care I received throughout the process was attentive, progressive, and compassionate. Communication was outstanding, with proactive follow up and prompt attention to every question or concern. Despite the major nature of this surgery, my recovery was smoother and easier than I expected, thanks to Dr. Watters team’s expertise and thoughtful guidance. I am extremely grateful for the exceptional care and outstanding result. We were so impressed that my husband has now scheduled the same surgery for this winter with Dr. Watters.

Dr. Watters and his team provided outstanding care from start to finish for my spouse. He took the time to explain to us the procedure, answered our questions, and made us feel confident going into surgery. His recovery has gone very well, and we are grateful for his skill, professionalism, and compassionate care. I highly recommend Dr. Watters to anyone considering hip replacement surgery. Thank you.

Dr Watters and his staff did a wonderful job. He came highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint! Was looking for a seasoned Doctor who had a wealth of experience doing hip replacements but young enough to have excellent tactile skills as a surgeon…he was perfect.
