Masoud Hamidian, MD

Background: In 2006, I hyperextended my right knee stepping off a skid steer(Bobcat). I went to TOC, they x-rayed and said it was arthritis, gave me Mobic. Didn’t help. Went to Sportsmed, x-Ray- arthritis. Celebrex. Didn’t work. Several cortisone shots over the next several years. Helped for a little while after each shot. Fast forward slowly to 2019. Dr Hamidian had replaced my aunt’s and my (at the time, 84 year old) mom’s knee. They did great! I asked Dr. Hamidian if he would fix my knee. After 13 years of no relief, Dr. Hamidian was the ONLY doctor that not only x-rayed, but did an MRI, which showed a badly torn meniscus, did arthroscopic surgery, but the meniscus was so deteriorated after all these years, removed it, I recovered, still lot of pain, tried rooster comb injection, relief for one day. Total knee replacement now, and I couldn’t be happier! Just no pain anymore! It’s been 2 weeks and 2 days since my total right knee replacement. Everybody in Doctor Hamidian’s… office are the best! They are always cheerful, speak kindly, and listen. I have been in so much pain over the last several years, this great surgery has already changed my life. I feel better every day, physically, mentally and emotionally. Although I would have loved to have stayed in the hospital 3 nights instead of 2, the day I came home 40 miles away, with the femoral block being removed 2 hours earlier, and my boyfriend(also my driver) having a laminectomy on 3 of his lumbar vertebrae one month earlier, we stopped at the local fire department on the way home, and the fire chief and his son came to our house and helped me up a steep ramp and into the house. This is the only time I was in pain, and took 2 pain pills. The day after the physical therapist from amedisys came to my house for the first time, (which was day 4 after surgery), I took one pain pill, not really for pain, but just couldn’t get comfortable that night. Haven’t needed a pain pill since, just no pain! On day 6, I went from the walker to a cane. I am trying to get the pedals on my 37 year old exercise bike to go all the way around, but haven’t been able to do it yet. But I WILL soon. I walked 1/2 mile on day 15, down the road with a cane. I also completely straighten my leg to zero degrees, and bend it to 95 degrees. Today, day 16, of course doing all regular exercises, and adding a few more sets than the physical therapists ask me to do, I am walking around the house and up and down stairs without using my cane. Sometimes, I take it with me, just for security. I have also lost 8 pounds, drink about a gallon of water, do a lot of deep breathing, and don’t allow cigarette smoke to come anywhere near me. Thank you, Doctor Hamidian, for giving my life back!

Your lucky to keep him in the room more than a minute. Office staff is very slow at making other appointments such as MRIs. Was not happy with this doctor. He just didn't seem to care. Had to go to Huntsville to find out what my problem was.

Diagnosis and treatment was spot on.

Excellent care from this doctor & his staff! lucky to have such a fine doctor in this small town.

Dr. Hamidian is a brilliant surgeon. I suffered for years and he made my hip like I was 25 again. I saw many doctors over the many years, and they all said nothing could fix it but gave pain medicine. Dr. Hamidian fixed my hip. I don't need no pain pills! I can dance again!

I have nothing but high praise for this Doctor's expertise and manner. He has now released me from regular visits and counseled me to come back
