I have had both hips replaced in six months, I feel I have my life back as well. I was not able to walk and was in a great deal of pain, but now I feel wonderful. No knee pain or back pain, Dr Lovell and his team are truly blessed by God. I thank God everyday for Dr Lovell

I received a Left Knee replacement from Dr. Lovell 4 years ago. He had to repair my left knee because I had three other knee replacements on that knee from another doctor and they all failed. Dr. Lovell, without hesitation, said he would operate and give me a new knee. I can run, do jumping jacks and am taking aerobics. I feel like I have my life back. For ten years, my left knee was screwed up. Thank again for helping me to live a normal life again.

I think Dr. Lovell walks on water. His strong emphasis on infection control was unique in mysurgical experience.

I looked for the best hip doctor in Spokane. And we found him. Dr L is the best, but get in line. Will probably take you six months to get in. He works out of providence, sacred heart. They have a very professional group of people at that hospital. I was in at 7am and went home at 4 pm the next day. Six weeks since procedure and I'm walking, no cane. Pain in hip is gone. Still a little sore, but I'm doing fine.

He is very detail oriented, and has noticed what other doctor missed. Even though I had Dx, I filled out form with lots of questions, and went through few tests. He knows what he is doing!

Dr.Lovell is very thorough in his examinations. He ask questions which are thoughtful and reflect his sincere interest in you as a patient and your medical needs. He has created a team of support staff at Sacred Heart Hospital which are extremely good. Truly the best orthopedic doctor I have had during the many years of knee problems and surgeries.
