A super surgeon! Great bedside manner.... has care & concern for both patient & family. After 10 years plus of leg & back pain, hip replacement in 2018 resolved it all! NO MORE PAIN!! “Thank you” Dr. Knatt.

My mom couldn’t walk for years because of knee problems . She saw other bone doctors but didn’t have much improvement , we finally went to Dr. Knatt and he operated on her and now she walks with ease and exercises now.

This guy is the greatest! You can not pay this doctor $400 for a thorough exam and try to convince him to give you narcotics. He will tell you about drug rehab in minute. Great surgeon!

Careless with patients time. After waiting 2 hours in waiting room, Spent all of 8 minutes in the examination room w/the doctor in which half the time was spent sprawled on a chair talking about who knows what? And he get over 400.00 for that? I'll never go to him again, would NEVER recommend anyone to him, and will passionately dissuade anyone from waisting their time and money. Appalling.

this guy is awesome. he takes poor whites(me), and poor blacks with no insurance. he cares for veterans(my family) and their families, when other doctors around the state rejects them. he fixed my mother's wrist and she did great. there are a lot of money hungry jerks out there that try to scheme to steal money from doctors and there insurance and they try to harm their families and their careers to take money from them, even though the try to help less fortunate people. we love him and his wonderful family.
