I was amazed at how thorough Dr. Dean was at my 3 month total knee replacement post op appointment. Since it was my first replacement, he explained to me exactly where I was compared to others at the same time. He told me exactlyShow more what to do to continue with the activities I love to do. He found an underlying issue when he opened up the knee and explained the exact symptoms I was having unsolicited. It was like he was reading my mind. The xrays showed a perfect knee replacement. He also told me my other knee was fine and I'd never need a replacement. He said I am one and done! I would recommend Dr. Dean 150%!
I feel like I'm becoming a regular at the practice. Dr. Dean replaced my shoulder a couple years ago and I could not have written a script for a better outcome. Everything from the initial visits, diagnosis, prep, surgery, PT and Show moremost importantly outcome were great. Now it's a knee. He takes great care to cover all the bases. X-rays. MRI. Whatever is needed to make a thorough diagnosis. He explains in detail what the imaging shows and what all the options are. And he's patient with my questions. I could not expect anything better from Dr Dean and the staff.

Fantastic - Dr. Dean did a great job of explaining in detail the injury I had, my go forward options, and answered all my questions. It is so rare to received this quality of care in the low country.
Courteous knowledgeable professional. Takes time to explain tests and procedures.

Dr Dean is the most personable physician I have ever dealt with. He’s knowledgeable and trusting, I am very thankful for finding him to take care of my medical needs.
Was very pleased with Dr. Dean he explained in detail to my husband and I now just waiting for date of surgery.
Dr. Dean is a very comprehensive doctor and makes sure he describes all your options of what you can do to solve your pain/injury. I have been using Dr. Dean for 11 years and I have not been disappointed once. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs ACL/Knee surgery.
Dr. Dean is a tremendous surgeon. I have had several post surgical problems, non of which were caused by Dr. Dean’s procedures. He has always shown personal concern while adamantly pursuing resolution of my issues.
Dr Dean clearly laid out my options & gave me the opportunity to make an informed decision. It took into account what would work best for me. I was very pleased with my visit!

Dr. Dean was so nice and informative. All the office staff was friendly and willing to do whatever they could do to be helpfu. Definitely recommend this practice!
I waited in the appointment room for over 20 minutes.
Great job!
Professional and personal. Mark is without a doubt my favorite Doctor of all times. I always look forward to seeing him.
Dr mark Dean is an excellent orthopedic doctor! He communicates well. He explains medical procedures very well. He isn’t in a hurry when he sees a patient. He is very good if you have either knee issues or shoulder problems.
Dr. Dean is the best. Thorough and competent.
Prompt progressional and helpful
He is prompt, pleasant and knows his sh&$. I couldn’t find a better bone & joint man!
Could not have been better! Had surgery on my knee on a Friday no pain at all on Saturday! He’s the best and one of the best in the country!
Dr Dean assessed and performed the urgent surgical procedure for my meniscus root repair. As promised, I would not need knee replacement if I followed the care plan and PT. Back to pickleball medals! He is caring, compassionate and competent- everything you could ask for in a MD.
Dr Dean is the best! He’s been my doctor for 26 years; I’ll never wish to see anyone else.
Dr. Dean is the best! Always provides solid advice and is never quick to cut! He and his staff are outstanding!
Five stars all the way! Dr. Dean explained in layman’s terms my shoulder surgery and I was confident he would deliver. He did!
Great doctor
A long wait, but both the staff and the doctor were very apologetic and concerned for my personal time. Once I met with Dr. Dean, the wait time was forgotten. I was so thankful to have an honest assessment of the current condition of my right knee and surgical option after several years of cortisone injections.
Great result following my Left total knee replacement!
