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
I’ve been having increasing pain with my right knee. Dr. Dean explained that the decision for replacement knee surgery is mine to make. He considers himself conservative and does not push the procedure. However, he explained my “rShow moreeturn on investment” by opting for surgery sooner rather than when I’m older. (I’m in my mid-70s with historically good longevity in my family.) Dr. Dean’s discussion helped me make my decision to have surgery without feeling pushed into doing that.

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.

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 .
Dr Dean was very thorough . He explained the options & gave his recommendation . Felt very comfortable with having the surgery done in the very near future . The entire staff was very helpful & friendly .
Dr. Dean is a doctor you can talk to very easily.
Dr Dean did a thorough review of my 2 new knees. He took time and explained how everything was going! I felt very comfortable with our meeting! I am very happy with joints that work now!!!
Dr Dean is the best! Very honest feedback!
Dr. Dean has now replaced both of my knees. There is a reason I returned to him both times I had a terrific outcome! Professional office, lots of preparation, lots of experience and attentive recovery guidance. We are so very lucky to have Dr. Dean on Hilton Head. Darlene Marlowe
Patient focused. Attentive and thorough
Dr. Dean treats you like an intelligent person who should participate in your medical decisions. He has since my first appointment. He has standards. He got me off my few cigarettes a day habit and I have stayed smoke free since 2020. If Osteoarthritis is going to be my primary medical problem as I age, I am so fortunate to have Dr Dean as my partner.
Dr Dean is highly knowledgeable, gave me options on my knee-he listened and heard me! No hesitation in recommending him and this practice!
Dr. Dean is truly a gift to Hilton Head. Listen to him, trust him, and follow his advice. You will be respected, cared for and grateful.
Running out of joints to repair but my good knee is failing and Dr D has agreed to make it # 7 and I am lucky to have met him .
Great doctor. Explains things very well. His replacement work on my left shoulder was flawless.
Dr. Dean has always been thoughtful, informative and patient with both my wife and I. Unfortunately, I inherited many things from my mother, including arthritis. He performed a knee replacement 6 years ago, and he’s scheduled to replace the other one in November. My last visit was for shoulder issues. I would recommend Mark without reservation.
He is very thorough and he doesn't sugar coat anything just plain good doctor!
Great physician. Explains condition, and treatment options clearly.
Most all of the staff is friendly and all are very professional
In my opinion Dr. Dean is the best. He has truly been a blessing to me. He doesn't know this but I nick name him, the Real deal Dean.
