Dr Holine replaced my husband's knees. No one wants their knees replaced but if it needs to be done, Dr Hotline is the one we trust! Kind, friendly, thorough, competent and a good surgeon. That's why I am going there for my knee.

Very good orthopedic doctor. Top shelf care in each of my surgeries I have had him perform on me over the years.
Oct-2023
I truly enjoy Dr Holien! He replaced my right hip 5 yrs ago after a decade of agony, and no one would consider it because of my age. He gave me my life back. Now- it’s my left hips turn (genetically cursed) and after a year and a half of pain and torn tissue, and no one could fix it, I just found out today my left hip is getting replaced also, and he’ll straighten out my pelvis and align with the opposite replaced hip. I was balling!! I am so relieved and I trust him 100% with my care! 40 years old, and I’m super pumped to finally have my hips complete.
Oct-2023
I've never met him! 2 appointments, I've had his assistant. I do't even know what he looks like. The assistant was good
Oct-2023
Made appointment with the surgeon. But when I got there I was seen by his PA. I didn’t even know it until he was leaving room. He didn’t introduce himself. If Surgeon wasnt going to be available, I should have been informed so I could have rescheduled, or decided whether I wanted to be seen by a PA. At the very least, I should’ve been informed before being seen that the person I was being seen by was not a surgeon.

A very though Doctor he explains everything and you decide with him on your cares. Only bad part is he doesn’t fill out paperwork you bring in and that can delay returning to work.

Very Satisfied with explanation on procedure to be performed .
Jul-2021
I was scheduled to see the doctor but instead was seen by his assistant Will who was the most terrible experience I have ever had. He told me I had an arthritic hip and 3 choices - keep taking anti inflammatory pills, or get a shot or surgery. He did not talk about any exercises that I could do or other types of ways to help. I asked about more issues I was having in my hip and buttock and he brushed me off. I made an appointment with Dr Holien and Not his assistant and would have liked to seen him. I felt I was not fully examined or respected with my questions and concerns.
