Dr.Meincke did a back surgery on me almost 3 years ago. I have been very happy with it. Now he just did my first knee replacement and he will be doing the other one yet this year. He is a very good doctor and he has a great personality.

I’m not sure how this guy can even call himself a dr. He is rude arrogant and unprofessional. He should in no way have the title of Dr.

Quiet, gentle man who's expertise in knee surgery was very apparent. Very thorough. Would recommend him to anyone very leery of surgery on their knees. Went very well.

The very first time I met Dr. Meincke he came in on his day off and his birthday just to give me a diagnosis. I was impressed with his knowledge, honesty, and kindness in seeing me. He told me exactly what it was and what I needed and what it would all entail for my recovery. He impressed me and I moved forward trusting him to do the surgery. He did an excellent surgery repair and his bedside manner was so comforting to me and my family. He answered all of my questions honestly and took the time to reassure me throughout the recovery.

After gaining my trust he insisted my constant pain was normal after knee replacement. Took over a year for the pain to be tolerable. Turns out the knee was not done incorrecly in the first place and needs another surgery. Wondered why he suddenly left the state of Texas.

I broke my wrist in 3 places. Being a piano player, this was a major concern. I had to have a plate and 7 pins put in. My wrist has now healed thoroughly. I have full range of motion. I have absolutely no problems playing the piano. I felt I was in good hands with Dr. Meincke. He answered any questions I had. He gave thorough explanations, and I never felt rushed in the appointments. I would definitely recommend Dr. Meincke to anyone.

Dr Meincke is an amazing Doctor. You will Not find a better one. His bed side manner is so refreshing. He takes the time to explain all of your options and I have NEVER felt rushed to leave so he can see his next patient!

This Dr will keep you in the dark the entire time. You had better ask alot of questions because he will tell you nothing about your condition or your recovery. Bed side manner is terrible if he even comes to see you in the hospital. Do not see him at all for follow up visits and I have had well over ten.
