He is a wonderful doctor. I recently had rotator cuff surgery. He explained before it all the details of what I should expect. It was then up to me to make sure that I did what I needed, to insure that the results would happen. ThShow moree outcome of my recovery seems to me to be in my hands. I have a little more than two months to continue to let my body do the rest. If I can do that I believe I will have 100% recovery. As he told me I will have a good shoulder for the rest of my life. I believe him. Billie Trotter
Dr. Dean is an exceptional healer and person. He took the time whenever we met to give me my then-current status, what I should expect next, and what my time frame for a full recovery should be. He did a fabulous job with my shoulShow moreder, and I am completely satisfied with his work and his willingness to take the time necessary to explain everything to me. I was 110 percent satisfied, and I would recommend him to everyone (and have already done so). In addition, his staff is terrific. Understanding, helpful, and kind. If you have an orthopedic problem, call first an appointment. Paul J. Larkin

My first appointment with Dr. Dean. He was informed of my condition, listened to my story, and provided options for a path forward. We discussed the options, and agreed on a plan. I had a very positive experience.

Dr Dean was very helpful in discussing all options available and the likely success rate of each. His honesty was most appreciated.
Given my challenging problem, he spent time to explain the position he is in. He is working to resolve this situation as best he can. I feel he is an amazing doctor who goes above and beyond ♥️
Office staff is very kind & professional. Dr. Dean is very thorough & takes his time to listen. Overall I had a great first experience.
Dr Dean is awesome with shoulders! I’ve had both shoulders scoped and repaired in the past 15 months and I’m getting stronger every day. Dr Dean is very good at describing what all he had to repair and how it would affect me. He’s also a pretty good guy. Bonus!
Dr. Dean and entire staff have been a pleasure to work with. Excellent care from start to finish.
Dr Dean is professional, personable, and easy to talk with about my concerns. Highly recommend Dr Dean!

Very professional with clear explanations for the knee replacement options. Answered all my questions and made me comfortable to proceed with a positive attitude. His overall experience is a huge plus for patients unfamiliar with the procedure.
Great
I couldn't have seen a better doctor than Dr. Dean. I was very pleased with his knowledge,compassion, and care. As far as I'm concerned, he's the best! 'Down to earth' and what a real doctor should be.
Dr. Dean did an excellent job with both of my knee replacements. I have full range of motion and my scars are healing nicely!
After years of putting off shoulder surgery, I finally came to the conclusion it needed to be done, and I wanted the best orthopedic physician to do it. Dr. Dean was the answer! From my initial meeting, throughout surgery and recovery, he was attentive, thorough, and his expertise has resulted in me feeling confident and physically able to continue enjoyable activities. He has an excellent team and has provided me with the best of care! He even thanked me for being a good patient! How lucky I am to have waited for the best!!
I got my active life back.
A good experience as always. My appt was on time and I was greeted by their friendly staff. My problem was addressed and plans are being made for my surgery.
On time and attentive
Dr. Dean took a good deal of time to completely explain my condition and all the potential remedies. He addressed every question and concerns I had. He listens.
Dr Dean provided detailed review and explanations of my knee issues with recommendations for options for next steps in a very understandable way. So helpful in my knowledge of the issues and future decisions I will Be making as I age.

Very helpful
Professional, friendly, knowledgeable. I am pleased with my rotator cuff surgery performed by Dr. Dean
Dr Dean is an absolute treasure for the Low Country. He thoroughness and understanding of incorporating lifestyle considerations with surgical risks show he wants what is best for the patient (even if surgery may not be the best option)
Dr Dean addresses the patients entire circumstance in considering next steps, discusses peripheral issues and concerns involving the patient in determining reasonable next steps.
Dr Dean was very helpful and provided us with information and answers to all of our questions to help us feel more comfortable and informed with our situation.
He explains everything clearly
Dr Dean is very thorough and explains everything. Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
He explained things and was very knowledgeable about my shoulders after looking at my MRI. Answered my questions well and had a very nice bedside manner. His nurse was pleasant too. I was nervous about getting the US guided cortisone shot and they both put me at ease. So glad I went to him and looking forward to getting better .
