Wonderful Doctor, Dr l’hommedieu has replaced both knees, I am 100% satisfied. He took all the time needed to explain everything, he’s polite and respectful. I’ve had excellent outcomes with both knees. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. His staff are equally helpful and courteous.

I was very unhappy he could have given me a shot but instead took my 115. Told me what I already knew then your office wanted to charge me another 115. For app for a shot I felt I would not like the place the minute I walk in there and be I should of turn around and left
