I was told I was too heavy to have a hip replacement and Dr Severson said he was able to do it. He did it from the front. I’ve since lost weight and am loving life. I owe him my life!

Dr. Severson and his whole team are superb. I live in the cities but decided to have my hip done with him to recover in my cabin. I am so happy I made that decision. I trust him with anything and know that he will always tell me the truth and look out for my best interest.

I had to wait 4 weeks to see Dr. Severson and I think it was more than worth it. He redid my total knee replacement that had been done elsewhere. I am now back to walking without pain and could not be happier

I had knee replacement surgery and it was an EXCELLENT procedure with EXCELLENT care. His procedure used a minimally invasive surgery and a "Rapid Recovery" method that was OUTSTANDING!!! In a matter of a few days post -surgery, I was walking without even a limp after suffering for 20+ years. It was a tremendous procedure and I recommend Dr. Severson and his team whole-heartedly!

I have to say that Dr. Severson has such an excellent bedside manner in addition to being an excellent surgeon. He has performed total hip replacments and total knee replacements on a lot of my friends so I went to see him. He took the time to educate me so that I really understood what I was dealing with. He then empowered me by giving me choices on management. I felt like he really cared that I understood everything. There is no wonder why he enjoys the best reputation in the area.
