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.

Since having the surgeries, it's wonderful to be able to sleep again, sleep on my stomach and lay on my arms. To mention being able to clean windows, reach for items way back in cabinets without any pain or strain, and being able to slide my arms into sleeves of cardigan, jacket, etc. I feel about 98% normal.

Have been seeing Dr. Dee for 3 years. During my initial visit, he listened to all my needs, took xrays and requested tests right away. I originally came in for hip pain and he noticed right away, something was off with my right shoulder that I wasn't aware of. I am so grateful, he caught that. He is extremely thorough, an advocate for the patient no matter what insurance, patient, truly cares about his patient!

I am not a health person, so I do not understand a lot of health terms, but Dr. Dee is very descriptive and helpful. He helped me learn why I had knee pain for so long and recommended an injection. I think it's called prp. I ended up getting it and it has relieved my pain greatly. The staff here is very nice and fast too. Christy, Christina, and Thao are the best!!

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.

Dr. Dee is the only orthopedic doctor that has been straight up with me. I've been having hip pain for the past three years and other doctors only sent me to physical therapy. When I went to Dr. Dee, he ordered me an MRI right away to actually find out what is going on in my hip. It showed a tear in my hip so Dr. Dee performed a hip arthroscopy. I was skydiving 3 weeks after the surgery and hiking a month and a half after! Thanks Dr. Dee!

I cant say enough about my experience here. Obviously, nobody wants surgery. However, Dr Dee and his entire staff made me feel very comfortable, gave me more knowledge then I every expected and simply put, treat you like family, not just another patient. If you ever need help like I did, or sometime of this nature, I would recommend anybody and everybody to Dr. Dees clinic. There a absolutely awesome!

I had a menicus tear from an accident and wanted to avoid surgery. Dr. Dee recommended PRP and it worked. One year after the accident and my knee feels great. I highly recommend Dr. Dee!
