Dr. Combs is a wonderful surgeon with a very compassionate bedside manner. He tells you exactly what's going on in easily understandable terms. I highly recommend him.

Comment - “ Outta any drs that I've met ... ”

Outta any drs that I've met in 40 yrs, I only held one other to high respect. Attentive to his patients before,during,& after your orthro. Surgery. Dr Combs has earned the same respect and admiration as someone whom wears the white jacket w/ initials, that actually care for mankind. He doesn't realize what he means to his patients.
