Dr. Godette did knee surgery for me and back surgery for my wife, both very successful. He is a very good surgeon with a wonderful personality.

Just out of post-op. Dr. Godette was a consumate professional from start to finish. He explained everything thoroughly, answered questions until I felt confident, and did not make me feel rushed. Should I ever need an ortho again, I am going straight to him. Highly recommend.

Definitely recommend Dr. Godette. Care's for his patients . He explains things so you can understand what the problem is. I had knee replacement surgery in 2014 by Dr Godette and I would get him to do the other knee when the time comes.

Do not see him if you need hand surgery as mine was botched and had to see a specialist at UVA Hand Center to correct it.
