Dr. Combs did knee replacements on both of my knees. He told me what I needed to know and answered all my questions. This was 4 years ago. My knees are doing great. I am thankful to God for his kind mannerisms and knowledge. Thank you Dr. Combs, great job.

He was personable and very knowledgeable. I haven't had surgery, but he's very helpful in listening to how I feel and trying to help find solutions.

Dr. Combs had performed surgery on me few years ago nd just last week he performed a total knee replacement on my right knee. His peronlity and bedside manner is awesome. I find him to be a caring doctor I feel he "listens" to what one is saying.
