Michael D Hellman

Dr. Hellman performed two total knee replacements and did an excellent job. My physical therapists told me that I (and all of Dr. Hellman’s patients) recovered better and faster than patients of other surgeons. He responds to questions via the St. Lukes patient portal within hours, even on the weekend. Excellent bedside manner. He is constantly looking for ways to improve his patients’ recovery — between the 2 surgeries he researched ways to reduce swelling post surgery. Immediately before the 2nd surgery he gave me two additional injections and the 2nd knee recovery went better even than the 1st. Could not recommend him more highly.

I had a wonderful hip replacement experience with Dr. Hellman!!! And his staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Hellman!!!

Dr. Hellman and his team are excellent at what they do! I had a total knee replacement and have achieved excellent results. He and his team have made this the most positive experience, from setting appointments, to scheduling surgery, to after care. Would recommend him in a heartbeat!

I had a knee replacement surgery 10 weeks ago. I have no pain! From start to finish I was treated with care and compassion. All of my questions were answered. The recovery has been a breeze. I wish I knew it was going to be this easy; I would have done the surgery a long time ago. Thank you Dr. Hellman and team for a wonderful experience and a new lease on life!

He listened to me and answered my questions in a language that I could understand. His team is very nice and personable. I plan on recommending him to my family and friends.

There are many "surgeons" in Kansas City. Dr. Hellman however is a very good doctor that does great surgery. More than any other doc I have been to, he understood my problems with the hip and............listened. Even when I knew and he knew what had to be done, he allowed me to continue with my narrative then, put my mind at ease about what we were going to do. No one enjoys surgery but it was a relief to come out the other side knowing it was done correctly.

From office visit to surgery, Dr. Hellman and his team provided exceptional care and information on what I would expect through the process. He was very professional and created a clear partnership for a successful outcome of the surgery and recovery. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Michael Hellman and his team replaced both my knees on two separate dates in 2020. They were professional, caring, thorough and patiently answered all my questions both times. I appreciate the before and after experiences, and the second knee went so much easier, because I knew what was coming. Thank you Dr. Hellman for the good experience and your professionalism.

Dr. Hellman and his team performed a total right knee replacement for me on Sep 2, 2020. The pre and post operation instructions from Dr. Hellman were very thorough. The surgery was a complete success. Two months have passed and my knee feels great. No more pain and excellent, smooth movement with my knee. Dr. Hellman is a very knowledgeable, professional and caring surgeon. He took the time to answer all of my questions, before and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Hellman if you’re considering knee surgery.

I am always impressed with Dr Hellman, his expertise and great bedside manner really create a comfortable environment and gave me a lot of confidence.
