I was limping and using a cane because of osteoarthritis in my left knee when I had my first appointment with Dr. Sweet. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. My TKR resulted in a pain free left knee. I will soon have my right knee done. I highly recommend Dr. Sweet.

Been going to Dr Sweet 20 years now. He did my hip and knee replacements along with other injuries along the way. I have had excellent care always and just a nice and regular guy to discuss your issues with. So glad to have him when I needed help!!

Dr Alex Sweet acts like somebody that is miserable in their work. Disconnected and not a people person. Maybe he should be in a lab.
