Wonderful Doctor and Staff

Dr. Gilbert performed a complete hip replacement on my right hip. My new hip feels so natural, I don’t know I have an artificial hip. Dr. Gilbert also performed a complete knee replacement on my right knee. I remember when I couldn’t use my right leg since I was in so much pain. My knee surgery was done a little more than 3 months ago. The surgery was done on a Wednesday and I went home Friday the same week. Dr. Gilbert’s staff is very friendly and helpful. I never feel rushed or that I’m asking a foolish question.

Recovered quickly

Dr. Gilbert performed 2 total knee replacements on me. One in July and one in October. I am very happy with the results. I recovered quickly and was very impressed with the whole process. Before I even went for surgery I had home health care nurses visit my home to help me prepare and after they came as well. Dr. Gilbert’s staff handled the hospital appointment scheduling and everything for me. It was a seamless process for me. All I had to do was show up. The whole staff is great there. I wish I would have done it sooner. I highly recommend Dr. Gilbert for knee surgery….and don’t put it off. You will feel so much better after.
