Dr. Grimes was very thorough in explaining the procedure, and his follow up was excellent. The experience was good.

We have been to Dr. Grimes several times over the past several decades for myself, my wife and one of our children. I keep coming back. I have appreciated the care, the results and the questions answered. He has always been very informative both before and after surgeries. Yes, if more issues pop up, I will certainly return to him. Wait time has varied from 5 minutes to other times 45 minutes. I will still consider him top of my list whenever I need attention in the areas of my bones or joints.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. Crimes took his time to explain everything to me. The surgery was great. I only had one incision on my knee and I walked out. I went to physical therapy and within 4 week visit after the surgery I was walking great and used no pain meds. If you need knee surgery go see Dr. Crimes.

Initially, surgery was to be done with Dr. Tivnon. The difference between these two doctors is unbelievable. Dr. Grimes did a total knee replacement. He is amazingly innovative. He's always trying new techniques to improve the healing process of his patients. He has thought of any possible complication scenario and has the procedures in place to combat it from his office practices, to set preventions in place in the hospital & surgery. He is always available , trustworthy & diligent.

I had a shoulder impingement corrected through surgery. I had virtually no pain! After care including physical therapy and other things was set up prior to surgery. By the next day after surgery, my range of motion was incredibly better! I wish I hadn't waited to get it done due to fear. I had no reason to worry!

Total hip replacement by Dr. Grimes in May 2016. Dr. Grimes was very clear regarding what to expect. There were no surprises. I was walking the day after surgery with very little pain and NO limp. Prior to surgery I played tennis (despite the pain from severe arthritis in my hip) 3-4 times a week. Recovery limited my activities and no tennis for a 4 month period. I'm very glad I stuck to the plan 'cause now my tennis buddies call me the poster-child for hip replacement. Thank you Dr. Grimes

After months of increased pain & loosing range of motion in my left shoulder I decided it was time to get help and was blessed to have been directed to Dr. Grimes. Gr. Grimes was precise, direct & confident on my first visit and was that way all the way through my procedure. Dr. Grimes surgically repaired my rotator cuff and with his proactive post-surgical therapy regiment with pain management, I was up & moving it right away. It is so nice to have a Doctor do what they say they can do & do it.
