Knee surgery went extremely well. Absolutely no pain or discomfort afterwards. Healing very quickly. Post surgery results exceed my expectations. The surgery experience was 5 out of 5.

I had my first consultation with Dr Powell and I know I’m blessed to have been taken on as a patient in his practice. His whole staff is incredibly professional and kind. I know I’m not the easiest patient but the fact that I get to come back over and over speaks volumes of their patience. Looking forward to continuing my journey with this group of exceptional people.

Great and efficient onboarding process. All the administrivia handled online ahead of time. Wait was amazingly short. Saw Dr. Powell with the first 10 minutes after arriving. Quickly assessed the problem and agreed on a way forward. Dr. Powell ranks as the best doctor/surgeon I’ve been to. I’d let him do brain surgery on me.

Incredibly attentive and proficient. After my procedure recovery it is hard to tell which knee got the work, my healthy knee or the fixed one.

My daughter saw Dr Powell ten years ago and I was impressed with his skill and temperament. He did a left knee replacement for me in Jan 2022; excellent work, I was slow at listening to the doc and so my rehab was slower. I’m pleased with the work he did and am looking forward to gaining more use of my knee as I follow the doc and PT’s direction

I highly recommend Dr Powell and his staff. Dr Powell has the talents to repair the damage to your joints and bones and a great ear to listen to your concerns. He will create a team (fellow OPA MD's) to assess and provide a solution to your condition. I had removal of tibia plateau hardware and a total knee replacement, a very difficult operation. I have excellent use of my new knee and I am infection free. OPA has been my choice for care over the years. Dr Powell is a member of the OPA team that cares about your care.
