I’ve recently gotten an ACL replacement surgery, and after only one month I was feeling great. Awesome doctor with an awesome attitude and personality. Highly recommend Dr.Fluhme!

I could barely walk when I came in. My knees are very bad an am not a candidate for surgery. Dr. Fluhme took the time to explain what my options were. His cortisone placement worked and the next day I was walking straighter, and not feeling the pain. He is phenomenal!

Dr. is very professional & gave me short time & long term options. He does this still by being so friendly & personable. I have had a number of procedures & have never been disappointed.

I have been seeing him for years after having multiple surgeries on my RT knee 7 different times by a different Dr. I wish I would've seen him earlier. He's always upbeat & explains to you what different things he can do for you!!

Dr. Fluhme provides excellent service as my orthopedic surgeon/specialist. He listens to his patients and goes over different options when possible. Explains everything in terms that I am able to understand. I can't imagine there being a better ortho around.
