Patient Reviews
Oct 04, 2024
I had two total knee replacements. I had met Dr. Sims many years prior and was impressed with his level of care of attentiveness. When I was ready for my surgery - he answered my MANY questions patiently. The day of the surgery he visited with me and made me very comfortable - and came to see me afterwards AND the next day. The after care visits were comforting and allowed me to heal properly. I would not have considered another surgeon as Dr. Sims SPECIALIZES in knees and that is what I wanted in my surgeon. I could not say enough about Dr. Sims and his amazing staff, including Jenna and all the others.
