If you’re like most people who have been told they may need a joint replacement operation to address a knee or hip issue, odds are you doing a little research into your surgical options. You probably don’t know about many joint replacement surgeons in the area, so you turn to the internet to see what other people who have undergone the procedure are saying.
Many surgeons have patient reviews on their website, but because they can control what gets posted on their personal site, it’s not always an accurate gauge of how patients feel about their care with that provider. That’s why reviews on third-party and social sites are so important for providing a better look at how patients really felt about their experience. Below, we’ve grabbed some of our favorite reviews that patients have posted to our Google and Facebook pages, but feel free to check out those pages for yourself to read reviews from real patients in their own words!
Hip and Knee Replacement Patient Reviews
Here’s what former patients have said about their experience with Dr. Botero and the team at the Knoxville Orthopaedic Clinic:
“Had total knee replacement on right knee, with minimally invasive surgery and I highly recommend Dr. Botero & his team! I was up and walking that first day, and with a great physical therapy team, and daily encouraging texts sent from Dr.Botero’s team, I am on the track to complete recovery so much sooner than I thought…back to work in 3 weeks! I am going back to Dr. Botero to have right knee replaced in 3 months!” ~ M.R.
“He’s the best. Did my hip! Highly, highly recommend him. I was back to work in three weeks. Had it done in July and no problems at all. Planning to hit the golf range for the first time this week.” ~ T.S.
“Dr. Botero and his staff are very friendly. On the day of my knee replacement surgery, I was not nervous. I trusted Dr. Botero’s expertise. I was able to go home the same day. I was in a lot of pain after the shot wore off. I wasn’t prepared for it, but I healed a little more every day. I purchased a portable potty, and safety seat with armrests, for the toilet. It also helps to have a shower chair. Now less than 2 months later, I’m almost finished with my physical therapy. It’s very important to complete your physical therapy, and do your at home exercises. Your muscles and tendons are very tight, and have to be stretched several times daily. You will be glad you had the surgery.” ~ K.B.
“Everyone from the very beginning has been so helpful, kind, and professional. The daily text messages from Dr. Botero’s office were so helpful. The what to expect texts and the exercise video text kept me on track.” ~ M.L.
“Dr. Botero’s undivided attention to my case was what made me feel so at ease. He was up front and honest and very detailed in all areas concerning my surgery and my rehabilitation. The staff was always helpful and very attentive to my needs. Always TOP NOTCH!!!” ~ D.D.
“My experience with Dr. Botero and his staff has been nothing short of excellent. My knee replacement was much easier than I expected, with very little pain. I was walking two miles only 3 weeks after surgery. The text communication before and after the surgery was impressive! I give Dr. Botero the highest mark possible…10/10” ~ J.M.
“I had both of my hips replaced in 8 weeks. Both surgeries went extremely well. Dr Botero is amazing. I can’t thank his staff enough. Every time I go to his office they make me feel so comfortable. They’re awesome at explaining exactly what is going to happen. Everyone in his office is very courteous and treats you with the utmost respect. Thank you Dr. Botero and your entire staff.” ~ L.W.
“I had been in so much pain for the past two years. Dr. Botero did a posterior right side hip replacement and I no longer suffer from hip or back pain. I can actually stand normally now and I’m level. I will be recommending Dr Botero and his staff to all my friends needing this procedure. Thank you!!” ~ D.C.
“My surgery was 6 weeks ago. I am grateful to Dr. BOTERO for a small incision..daily emails with encouraging messages..updates to my expectations and progress. Now there is a 2nd surgery scheduled on the other knee and looking forward to less pain So glad I found someone who cares for his patients and keeps in touch and is available. Staff support. Thank you.” ~ B.P.
“Dr Botero and his team continues to perform in an outstanding fashion. My surgery and recovery program they established has allowed me to return to all my daily activities. Their expertise and professionalism remain unmatched in my 73 years of experience.” ~ D.V.
“I call Dr. Botero the knee whisperer, because he is so good at what he does! My scar is only about 5 inches and my recovery was right on target the whole way. 6 weeks post surgery and I’m doing stairs and walking normally with the operative knee. The texts from Dr.Botero were very helpful and motivating. I loved reading people’s reasons and goals for surgery and adding my own inspirations. It was great to hear from people who were just like me.” ~ L.S.
