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.
