All of the staff I saw were friendly and accommodating. Easy process including xrays. Dr Jenkins gave me all of my options and answered all my questions.

Follow-up for my total knee replacement. I would highly recommend Dr. Jenkins for this procedure. I'm feeling young again!

Dr Jenkins and his staff are amazing!!! I was very apprehensive about going in for a total knee replacement at 45 years old, but it was the best decision I made. I am about 9 months post-op and I have never felt better. I dealt with the pain for over 7 years before I had the knee replacement and I am very happy I finally stopped procrastinating and had it done. If I need to get my other knee done, Dr Jenkins will be the one I go to. Highly recommend him.

The wait time was about 15 minutes. Waited in the exam room for another 15 minutes. It was worth the wait! He is an excellent Dr. Staff was very professional.

Upon arriving for my 2 o’clock appointment and after checking in, I think I waited approximately two minutes and the young lady came in to take me for x-rays. Then I went into the exam room and Dr Jenkins was there within three minutes. I don’t think I waited more than that. He did my surgery in July 2025 and that was my six month check up he has a fantastic bedside manner. His attitude is great and he’s a wonderful surgeon. I had a total knee replacement. I am a female 84 years old and if I needed my other knee done, I would only go to Dr Jenkins. When I went my primary care doctor to get clearance for my surgery, he asked me who I had for my surgeon and I told him Dr Jenkins his response was you got the best? Carol

Dr Jenkins replaced my right hip. I’m a 67 year old retired nurse; I couldn’t be happier with my results. He personally speaks with his patients pre and postop and the level of care is excellent. My arthritic hip and the pain, limp and awkward balance are gone!! I am so grateful for his expertise, knowledge and commitment to his profession…Thank you to him and his entire team!!

I saw Dr. Jenkins at my 6 week post op appointment. He patiently answered all my questions and showed me my current X-ray. My recovery has been going well and I feel as though I’ve chosen the best surgeon for both my knee replacements.
