In patients' words
"The entire process was on time, never rushed, office and staff. Most importantly, he explained my knee. He said, 'I can get you back to playing tennis'. I had an ACL replacement, meniscus repairs... If I could give them 10 stars, I would."
— Healthgrades review for Dr. Larry Padgett"Dr. Messieh did a good surgical job on my hip replacement, but he is a very arrogant person. On my follow up visits, instead of giving words of encouragement, he denegrates my progress."
— RateMDs review for Dr. Samuel S. Messieh"He wanted to do an MRI and surgery. I asked for an MRI only to see if I needed surgery and his reply was no... Have sought other opinions and I don't need surgery on my rotary cuffs, just rest... I'm 84 years old and he wanted to do surgery on me for no reason."
