I find Dr. Grimes to be very knowledgeable in his field of medicine and caring about his patients. His staff is exceptional and efficient for scheduling and working with patients. Dr. Grimes did a full knee replacement on my 68.5-Show moreyear-old knee, and it has gone spectacular. I was walking unassisted on my own in just over 2 weeks. He did my mom's knee at 88 years old, and it went very well also. I greatly appreciate his work and highly recommend him to anyone with bone-on-bone issues.

Dr. Grimes has truly put me back together. After my accident, he performed five surgeries on me, and I honestly believe that without his incredible skill and dedication, I would not be able to live the normal life I have today. HShow moree is not only an exceptional surgeon but also someone who genuinely cares about his patients. I can never fully express my gratitude for everything he has done for me. Thank you, Dr. Grimes, for giving me my life back. I will always be grateful.
