Had a knee done by another doctor at the local University group. Had nothing but trouble. Dr. Aitken did my other knee and I was up and doing my walking before I knew it. HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS. Would recommend to anyone.

Dr. Aitken was the surgeon who put in my hardware a little over 2 years ago. His work, along with the Lord, was excellent. However, I changed to a more physical type job and felt like the hardware was a bother. Therefore, I consulted with him and he agreed the hardware could be removed. The procedure and recovery were nothing like the initial surgery. Dr. Aitken is the best in the Ashland area and other orthopedic surgeons need to take in some skills from him.
