Dr. Sides unequivocally improved my quality of life! I put off a total knee replacement for number of years. It got to a point where every single step was pain. He saved me from that. It's now been 7 months since surgery. I can run, backpack carrying 40 pounds, and all completely pain free! I can't put to words how wonderful that is! Thank you Dr. Sides, thank you!! John Johnson

This man is rude and incapable of communicating in a nice way. I was appalled with how he treated my mother. He does not care about the elderly. Do not go to him at all costs.

Dr Sides took take on my mother, she has surgery to her right knee last summer 2018. He was so professional and in OR so fast, was reassuring to me that my mom will recover. Sure enough with therapy my mother starting walking without cane on day 14th postop. Staff was good too, i personally never had problems, understanding the volume of patient they see on daily basis.

Dr. Sides replaced both of my knees (4 months apart) and I can now walk with a walker. With more PT, I will be walking around the block in few months! His compadre, Dr. Art Gonzalez, is very amable and professional also. Their staff is the best! No complaints from me.
