Lets be honest, when it comes to surgeons, many times, the choice of which surgeon to use is made by someone other than the patient. Furthermore, many patients have limited knowledge about the surgery that they are about to or already have undergone. So, when it comes to reviewing a surgeon, it really comes down to how that surgeon made you feel. But, is that opinion really of any value to a potential review reader? So, let me tell you why I think you should choose Dr Holmes, based upon my personal observations. Dr Holmes has literally performed thousands of these surgeries. He has strong opinions and policies that he adheres to, based upon that experience. An example of that is when he told me both my knees were in poor shape. I requested that he repair both at the same time. He simply said No. He offered a couple of reasons why that wasnt a good idea in my case. Now that the first knee has been replaced, I cannot imagine having had both knees replaced at once. During my recovery, there was a period where simply moving that right knee a few inches was extremely difficult. I had to rely on the other knee to fill the gaps. Dr Holmes was absolutely correct. There are other examples, but, you get the point. In summary, I cant speak to the many years of education that it takes to become a surgeon. I dont understand the processes that took place to repair this knee. What I can say is my knee is repaired. The process followed the exact plan that Dr Holmes laid out for me from the beginning, and I am looking forward to the next knee. He was extremely honest. He was compassionate. He was firm about the exact steps we would follow from beginning to end. Isnt that what one would expect from a person who is taking your life into his hands for a period.
Dr. Holmes, his ofc staff and support staff at hospital were so professional a d caring. I had a full right knee replacement. Was out of hospital in a day and a half. Walking and in Physical Therapy in a week. Dr. Holmes is the BEST!
Dr. Holmes replaced both my knees (8/5/2008 and 9/23/2008) and then my right knee again on 2/19/2019 since the bones above and below the knee had shifted sideways. I see him once a year to make sure both still are good. He and his friendly staff has always taken great care of me and I can highly recommend them.
Don’t put off your hip replacement! I did and regret the decision. I’m a big guy 6’2”, 300+ lbs. I thought my pain would increase. Just the opposite. From the moment I awoke in the recovery room I was pain free in the hip. Even the incision site wasn’t bad, and never needed anything more powerful than regular Tylenol. Find a good physical therapist who treats hands on instead of teaching you stretches. Dr. Holmes did a great job and has my full recommendation!
Dr. Holmes is an amazing doctor. So very glad I choose him to do my knee replacement. He tells you like it is and compassionate at the same time. I had 100% trust in him performing my surgery. Could not ask for a better doctor. Not only is he a fantastic doctor, he is also a very very good man. Best decision ever to have Dr. Homes perform my knee replacement.
I ❤️ Dr. Holmes! I had a complicated scenario where I needed a hip replacement but my weight was not ideal. In my experience, the doctors will want you to lose weight before giving any treatment. Dr. Holmes was caring and he explained that it was high risk but doable. Thanks to him, I have my mobility and posture back. Im back to teaching folklorico dance, traveling, going to the gym and enjoying life again. (Im the one in the middle). Anyone out there who is affraid, dont be!
Dr Holmes and Dr McCarthy are both very professional and caring. Their diagnostic knowledge is superb.
Dr. Holmes and his entire staff is first class. They made me feel comfortable in making the decision to have a hip replacement. Best decision I have ever made and am back to working out at the gym and playing some of the best golf of my life. Thanks to Dr. Holmes.
Super great, caring surgeon. I had both my knees replaced and he was great through the whole process. He explained what to expect , and emphasized once surgery was done I had to do my part and do all the rehab excersizes diligently or it would all be for nothing. I did and have excellent flexibility. It's been years ago now and I'm so grateful I chose him.
