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."

RateMDs review for Dr. Maury Fisher
