Arrived 4 hrs late for my hip replacement, used metal on metal parts,! Had to redo surgery. Because he got my leg too long. This part hasn’t been used in years. I should have sued. Still in pain

Dr. Powell did an ACL Replacement on my left knee in 2009 . I found him to be very honest and knowledgeable . My surgically repaired knee is pain free and very strong after 5 years of use . I would recommend him and would use him for any future knee injuries .

Great bedside manner. Dr. Powell doesn't treat you like a number. He spends ample time with you and listens to what you have to say. Most importantly, he fixed me up.

I and another member of my family have been Dr.Powell's patients in the past. He is very caring doctor who is honest with you. Our experiences with him have been great and he has helped to ensure that we have recovered fully and quickly. He has also called our home after the surgeries each time to ensure that we are doing well- not his PA, but him from his home. I would recommend Dr.Powell to anyone, and will go back to him anytime.

Overall experiences is that he seems to care in the beginning. But watch as time goes by and it gets legal. He changes on you, and does not care to be questioned at all. It's what he says, no questions asked. Get everything in writing that he tells you from day one or you will regret it. He has memory lapses!
