"Without a doubt, Doctor Cherry is the best hip replacement surgeon this area ever had, bar none. I have had zero problems since my replacement in 12-5-22."
— Vitals (Dr. Kenneth L. Cherry)"Called for an appointment due to severe knee pain, and was very happy to be told that there was a cancellation for the next day. Arrived at the office and was told that the appointment was not until the next week. The office worker was rather rude and did not believe that I was given an appointment for that day."
— Healthgrades (University Orthopedics Center)"Because Dr. Sebastianelli's post surgery plan excludes physical therapy for 2 weeks after total knee replacement... my knee still will not bend."
