Dr. Isbell was great. He examined my knee, listened to my complaint and treated me accordingly. The xray tech (Martha) was very helpful and gentle with my knee while xraying it. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr Isbell was very professional but with an exceptional bed side manner. I’ve been to many Doctors with my problem but he is the first that gave me hope that a solution could be found. I highly recommend Dr Isbell for anyone with hip problems.

My visit with Dr Isbell was great. He was awesome…so friendly and did not rush through the appointment. He gave me time to ask questions and discuss details. I’m definitely choosing him to repair my shoulder.

Regarding my first visit to SouthLake Orthopedics (as highly recommended by my GP)I was pleasantly surprised with the overall visit and Dr. Jonathan Isbell. Admittedly the waiting room was somewhat crowded and and waiting time longer than expected BUT that was attributed to my not completing the portal info pre-visitation. Everyone was very pleasant and Dr Isbell added to that. -Very comfortable and informative, as well as friendly. While my purpose for being there was not that serious I was treated with utmost care and concern. - I strongly recommend this Orthopedic facility.
