Replaced my knee in 2015 and I'm still having problem with it. It was pinching right after surgery and I told him, the same day. HE IS NO GOOD...

What a RUDE, RUDE doctor! Dr. Hovis did a knee replacement on my mother and was so rude and disrespectful to her. He has a “god” complex and is so very arrogant. He didn’t want to hear that my mother was doing all he told her to do. He kept insisting that she didn’t follow his directions which was not at all true! His NP was just as bad. Very rude and didn’t want to listen to my mothers concerns! I would NEVER refer anyone to him!!!

Nothing like a surgeon with lots of experience! Exceptional medical attention from his nurse practician and staff. Surgery in February and full recovery in May. Thank you Dr. Hovis and NP Lynn!

Dr. Hovis has preformed surgery on my hip, knee and shoulder. I think he is excellent at his job. Surgery was the last resort for me to relieve my pain. His staff is excellent.

I have been a patient of Dr. William Hovis since 1977. He has corrected birth defects in my feet. Surgery for a broken ankle, 2 knee replacements & surgery on both my hands. I have NEVER had a problem with the surgeries and have had good results. He is an excellent doctor in his field. He is not Knife Happy. Surgery is the final step. He has always be courteous and kind. He does expect you to follow his instructions for recovery. Which any doctor should.

Dr. Hovis has been my orthopedic surgeon for 30 years. I've never seen any behavior that could be considered unprofessional. Sometimes there is a long wait. when this happened I learned he has spent extra time with a patient having more difficulties than expected. I know Dr. Hovis has made other patients wait due to spending more time with me. I don't begrudge him doing the same for other patients. His P.T. people are the best in the world.

Dr. William Hovis should not be allowed to practice medicine. He is short-tempered, rude, arrogant, and the most ignorant-acting doctor I have ever met. I absolutely would never recommend Dr. William Hovis to anyone.
