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.

Excellence comes to mind.every person there was cordial and very nice !!!
After going to two different orthopedic doctors my daughter referred me to Dr Powell. I went through a previous surgery and a horrible brace that made my hand bleed. Dr Powell gave me more information and a plan in 30 minutes. More than the other two combined in over a year.
My knee pain has gone in about 12 hours after I left the office
Dr. Thomas Powell is the best ortho doc around!!
