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!

Thorough and answered all questions
Dr Powell always is kind and considerate. He is a great orthopedic surgeon and I highly recommend him
Dr. Powell is very good and has a great “bedside manner”. He does a friendly job of listening to me explain my frustration with the infrequent and odd occasions that my left knee just quits working properly and charted a convenient plan for my recovery. Thank you to the whole bunch at PowellOrtho.net, they are a good team.
