Patient Reviews
Nov 18, 2021
Dr George performed 3 surgeries on me. Both rotator cuffs were torn for 10 years. Dr George figured out my problems when no one else did. He also performed a total left knee replacement. My knee was in horrible shape. The MRI didn't tell the whole horrible story! I recovered so well from all of the 3 surgeries even though I was in my 60s and the areas were in horrible shape. Dr George is the best joint surgeon, in my opinion. He is laid back, listens, gives good feed back and he cares.
