Dr. Roberts replaced my right hip &. Will soon replace the left hip also. He was highly recommended by friends. I felt confident placing my care in his hands. He stressed that there would be minimal pain & he was right.

Dr Roberts has replaced both my hips over the last year. He has a super bedside manner. He explains in plain English what will go on as well as what to expect. I like his aggressive approach to things. Would highly recommend him. His staff and nurse are also very efficient.

Dr Karl is very personable, explains what is going on, and puts you at ease with an upcoming surgery. I could not have had a better outcome with my knee replacement, and I was amazed. Overall, my experience was very positive, and I would not consider going to any other dr. for knee replacement surgery.
