After two years I still can’t walk. After a second opinion, I didn’t need knee surgery I needed hip surgery. I saw the xrays and my hip wasn’t even together. This was causing all the pain all the way down my leg. So I had total replacement of knee that was not needed!my hip replacement is next month in another city.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Dement for many years now, and he has performed surgeries on both of us. He did an excellent job, and we would recommend him to anyone who needs orthopedic care or surgery, and we have many times.

Dr. Dement is the most caring physician I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. A different doc botched my shoulder surgery and I went to Dr. Dement out of desperation. He did remarkable work repairing all the damage and did it with all the kindness and caring any patient could hope to receive.
