Patient Reviews
Feb 08, 2024
I am a patient of Dr. Combs. Being an athlete all my life caused some pain to recently appear in my knee and hip. Dr. Combs was very thorough in his examinations (in office, x-rays and MRI) and was able to explain in great clarity the problems and solutions I could choose. I decided to move forward with a total hip replacement in Dec. I chose hip replacement as there was a possibility, he explained, there could be relief to my knee, both were on the left side. The surgery went as described and to my surprise, I have had 0 (zero) pain. I have seen Dr. Combs twice since surgery and all is going well, with a follow up coming soon. I followed Dr. Combs instructions when released. I am now 2 months post surgery, and am very pleased to say the least as to my recovery. Walking, stride is back, going to the gym and happy to say my knee is doing better, hopefully I will not need surgery but if I do, Dr. Combs will do it.His STAFF was outstanding, simple as that.
