Average Patient Rating
- “I need to have total knee replacement for both knees. Dr. Walker said he would not do both knees at the same time. He explained that when you have one knee done usually you relieve the other knee and can hold off for awhile before having the other done. At first I was disappointed. But after having the right knee done and started physical therapy I was glad to just have the one done. In physical therapy there were some there that had both done or one and the other a month later. Majority probably 20 to 30 years older than I. I know it's not an easy recovery. But after you heal it's all worth it. There's two doctors that I heard that will do both or one than the other a month later. Learned this in physical therapy visiting with other patients. To me watching these other patients and their ages being so much older made me feel that these other doctors were out more for the money. I appreciate Dr. Walker saying no. He's looking out for his patients well being.”– Janice D.Patient Rating:

- “As a retired RN I knew I needed a wonderful hip but really dreaded having surgery. Dr. Joseph and his staff were wonderful. Being up on my legs again in just 24 hours was fabulous. Also my the incision was perfect and my scar is flat. Need the other one done and will definitely go back to Dr. Joseph.”– Jo S.Patient Rating:

- “Excellent.”– James G.Patient Rating:
- “He is awesome! Besides being an amazing surgeon, he cares. I was in a FIB before one of my surgeries. He found his own Cardiologist immediately and followed up with me about everyday reassuring that we could do my knee at a later date. Which we did 5 weeks ago!! He tells the truth you can trust and believe he has your best interest at heart!! You couldn't be in better hands. Will have him do my other knee when he gives me the go ahead. ❤️”– Belinda M.Patient Rating:

- “ I had knee replacement surgery. Dr. Joseph explained to me in a previous appointment what the process would be. Every thing went according to the plan and I couldn't be happier with the results. I can now walk again without pain. I can hardly wait to have the other knee replaced by Dr. Joseph this fall. I would say that if you follow his instructions you would achieve the same result that I did. I'm very happy.”– William G.Patient Rating:
- “I like the service they provide!”– Joseph A.Patient Rating:
- “Dr. Walker was very professional and forthright. He listened to my concerns, respected my opinions as a medical colleague (nurse), and advised me of all options. He took time to answer my questions and I felt he genuinely cared about my outcome. I would recommended his services to my friends and family.”– Marcie P.Patient Rating:
- “Very good explanation of what needs to be done before and after surgery was fantastic. He also sees my sister who has down syndrome and is VERY GOOD with her. She loves him”– Wanda P.Patient Rating:
- “Dr. Bruner was terrific! He did both my son's ACL tear and my meniscus tear and in both cases we were better than new after the procedures. My procedure was preformed years ago and I play a lot of golf. I feel no pain or discomfort at all. With the golf swing where you do a significant amount of coiling and twisting of the lower body I feel my knee is better than new. I recommend Dr. Bruner and his staff HIGHLY!”– Mike C.Patient Rating:
