Patient Reviews
Sep 29, 2022
My mother had many years of knee pain due to arthritis. We knew she required surgery but we were scared to proceed. From the first moment we met Dr. Southgate, I could see that he was very caring and. knowledgeable. He took the time to explain treatment options very clearly. Its now been 2 months since my mom had her successful knee replacement with Dr. Southgate and we are very pleased with his expertise and care to say the least. Thank you Dr. Southgate!!!
