Truly amazing. My husband saw Dr. Powell way back and loved him and the experience he had. But, we hadn’t had any issues with our kids yet so I wasn’t sure how Dr. Powell would be with kids. I have no idea why I wondered. He was pShow moreerfect. He was so kind to my daughter, funny, encouraging, playful, yet also concerned for her injury and great at explaining what she should and shouldn’t do for the next couple weeks while she heals. So thankful for him, his amazing staff, and the incredible experience for what I’m sure will be our family’s first of many orthopedic needs for our kids. We won’t need to go anywhere else!

Dr. Powell and his staff are the best I’ve ever dealt with. They are friendly and helpful in every way. Dr. Powell is a great surgeon but also a great guy that takes time to talk to you and explain anything you need answers to. I Show morehope I don’t need surgery again but if I do… I’ll be back to him.
