Dr. Kyle's bedside manner needs improvement. I won't ever be seeing him again so you can cancel my yearly appointment. I felt really insulted after seeing him as he even suggested my pain was all in my head.

Yesterday was my one year anniversary for my hip replacement and I have to say it’s been the best decision of my life. Dr Kyle is very knowledgeable in what he does. I think I chose the best doctor for this procedure. I also would like to comment on his team they are always very caring and considerate as well as knowledgeable. Thank you all for giving me my life back.

Two years ago Dr. Kyle did a total knee replacement on my left knee. Any pain I had was not too intense and manageable. I was off of the pain meds in a week’s time and walking without a walker in 4 weeks. He is very personable and cares a lot about his patients. I recommend Dr. Kyle and his staff .
