“Came Back for Seconds”
Dr. Dee was recommended to me when I needed shoulder surgery in 2012. He was a true professional, in every sense. I was immediately comfortable in his presence, and all treatment/recos were well-explained and clearly supportive of the recovery process.
So, when it came time to get my knee done in 2018, he was the only choice. Again, everything was handled at the same outstanding level as the last time, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. He is truly a miracle worker, and I would happily recommend him to anyone in need of joint repair.

“Great Bed side Manner”
Dr. Dee listens to all of my problems and gives his honest opinion. I asked him if I should get an injection that another doctor told me about and instead of selling me on his products.. he actually told me that it would not help as much. Instead, he gave me alternative methods of healing.
