I purposely waited a year after my hip replacement to make my comment. Without a doubt, Doctor Cherry is the best hip replacement surgeon this area ever had, bar none. I have had zero problems since my replacement in 12-5-22. Would recommend him to anyone who requires a new hip. Trust me, you will not regret it. Thank you again Doc Cherry. Your the best!

Dr Cherry was extremely helpful with BOTH my knee pains - he was very thorough and explained my conditions and he felt a knee injection in both knees would be beneficial- I appreciated his in depth analysis and suggestions- so far the injections have worked well- NO surgery is required- very personal and sincere

I have had 2 surgeries performed by Dr. Cherry. A hip replacement was done in 2017 and a knee replacement in 2023. This doctor is a very caring man who explains everything in detail. My husband will be having a knee replacement in early 2024. There is no other doctor that we even consider for this surgery. Thank you Dr. Cherry. We feel very fortunate to have found this outstanding surgeon.
