Dr. Hess is the best. I have had pain in my hip for years. After trying other things to help the hip Dr. Hess suggested surgery. I am so thankful that he was able to fix the problem and I’m now pain free. Thank you Dr. Hess

Dr. Hess is the best doctor I have visited in my 70 years. He is extremely knowledgeable about his field and makes you feel like you are going to get better and he will be right there to help whenever needed. Excellent in the operating room with the way he explains all the steps before hand. I highly recommend him and the bone and joint facility where he works. Wayne Cook

I am 94 years old and broke my hip. I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Hess on call when I arrived at the hospital via ambulance. He performed surgery as soon as was possible and I could not have envisioned a better outcome! I have followed up with him over the last nine months and each encounter has been wonderful! He is always attentive and answers all of my questions and concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Hess if you have the need for an orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Hess did a fantastic job with my shoulder replacement. I would recommend him to anyone who needs orthopedic surgery not only because of his expertise in surgery, but also because of his bedside manner.
