Dr. Love was my second opinion but he was so professor, and made me feel so comfortable about the surgery that I was ready to do it. My surgery was in June 2014. He takes his time in surgery because he was late for my surgery but he said to me I rather take my time and get it right then rush and the patient still have problems. I really like that because I knew he would do the same for me. I had my high heels back on about fours months after a total hip replacement. I do not have any stiffness or pain in my hip. I highly recommend him!!

Just so you know, Dr Love was my ortho while he was still active duty and performed surgery on my right leg when I broke it and it had been set wrong so he went in and put a rod in it and now it is great, so my experience with him thus far has been thru the military

My daughter had surgery two weeks ago and Dr Love was very professional. We met with Dr. Love on our initial visit, I really felt at ease with the with the procedure, so we pushed forward with the surgery. I can't believe it, but my daughter is back on her feet and ready for physical therapy.

Felt it was interesting to see the amount of X-ray views and how they allowed the doctor to explain the diagnosis. This not done at another office.
