It saddens me to leave such a bad review but unfortunately Doctor Montgomery did a procedure on my knee and it has been nothing but a disappointment. I have been in nothing but pain since the procedure which was supposed to suppress and take away the pain. My most recent visit with the Doctor his response was it is what it is and there is nothing else we can do for you. Unfortunately I have to look for another doctor since the doctor won’t even do a ultrasound or a scan to see what has happened. After I spent all this money they have pretty much told me they can’t help me.

Follow up visit. Recommendations made 5 weeks earlier paid big dividends. My pain and mobility improved greatly. No need to drain Or for cortisone.

So glad to have had Dr. Montgomery perform my knee replacement. Once I got through the initial few weeks of recovery and rehab, it's been great. I highly recommend Dr. Montgomery for anyone thinking about knee replacement. He is pleasant, thorough, and professional. And most of all, he knows what the heck he is doing??

Dr Montgomery is an excellent surgeon. I had knee replacement surgery that went perfectly. After physical therapy I had a range of motion 0 to 135 degrees. I am very pleased with the outcome and fortunately chose Dr Montgomery
