Testimonials

Dr. Grimes did a total knee replacement surgery for me six weeks ago. Everyone involved with the surgery and recovery in the hospital were great. Dr. Grimes came up to the hospital room after surgery and explained what he did and answered any questions before he left. I felt the surgery went great. I was up and walking the same day. Physical therapy several times a week helped get me back to work and normal activities very quickly. If you are dealing with constant knee pain every day I would recommend seeing Dr. Grimes about knee replacement.
