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

Excelent Very professional
Dr. Dean is a great orthopedic surgeon! He has replaced both my left knee and my right shoulder!
DR Mark Dean is very thorough he listens to you, he tests the problem area takes X-rays of problem areas then gives the options of different treatments, and the prose and cons of the treatments. DR Dean involves you very much in the process. I am glad to have him as my doctor.
Exceptional
Great appointment gave me his full attention.
I have seen Dr. Dean for at least 10 years. Always very cordial. But this last visit was awful. He was rude and not very helpful. Needs to work on his bedside manors.
Dr Dean is efficient, professional, thorough, very capable on every front, answering all and any questions.
I have seen Dr. Dean on a number of occasions for the past 16 years for knee and shoulder issues. He has never failed to be unfailingly professional with this assessments and generous with his time. Further, treatment under his care has always produced successful outcomes. I highly recommend Dr. Dean.
Very professional and succinct. He did great job on my shoulder replacement and it is progressing very well.
Always so good very good at explaining the process of my recovery and what I need to work on answered every question .
Great communication Dr. Dean explained my options He wasn’t rushed and made sure that I was comfortable with our plan
Dr Dean is caring, sincere professional orthopedic surgeon. He takes time to listen to my concerns and explains his diagnosis throughly! He has an excellent team that supports him and continually takes time to tend to my needs. Recovery went just as Dr Dean said, with no surprises! He is the BEST!
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 “return 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.
Great experience. Kind staff
Very good
Dr. Dean explained my X-rays, explained my options, and was very thorough. No I have a plan.
Efficient, not a long wait, very professional
Always listens and relays his thoughts and recommendations. Never pressured leaves the decision up to you. By far one of the best around! Did the left shoulder and the right knee is next!
Thorough discussion regarding my issues and path forward. Took the time to explore my lifestyle and expected outcomes.
Great at explaining what the condition might be and what the follow procedure was recommended in simple understandable terms.
Dr. Dean and his staff were very professional and addressed my ortho issue immediately. Kind, compassionate and competent.
Love him and his staff. Always willing to help me. Takes his time with me. Explains very well and understandable what's going on with my knee. Really care about me. Takes time to listen.
Information. Feed me information
