Dr Jenkins replaced both of my hips last year (2023). I went into it very nervous. I had a perfect, textbook recovery. I can do whatever I want as a 69 year old women. I have my life back thanks to Dr Jenkins. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering surgery.
Aug-2024
Worth waiting for!
Aug-2024
Very attentive and great communicator. I received all the information I needed in a cogent (" plain speak") well organized and presented manner. It gave me a great sense of confidence going into surgery.
Aug-2024
Walked in said hello, need both knees replaced but too young. Explained he is a knee replacement surgeon and I need injections referred me to other dr in practice. Was in and out so fast I didn't get a chance to ask questions to point he actually left room midway through me talking and I followed him into hall where he walked me out. I wanted to tell him my husband who he operated on was a patient of his for years passed away and honestly, after his attitude towards me, I was stunned and thought why would he care he won't even answer my questions. This was not the same man I met in the past. I'm sure he is overworked or maybe caught him on a bad day to walk in tell a young person news no option was awful. He could've been more helpful. His staff should screen by age and set up with the nonsurgical knee dr first. Would've saved all time and me aggravation! Watching him talk and laugh with his staff as I waited and checked out for 20 min was worse. Never going back
Aug-2024
Went over test results and explained things clearly. Good experience
Aug-2024

Apr-2024
Very satisfied with the results of my knee surgery
Apr-2024
It is one year since I underwent right knee replacement. I think I have had an extraordinary recovery. I no longer take any pain meds, i can walk up and down the stairs with both legs again. I have had knee replacement on both legs. I think that is referred to as bi lateral knee replacement. The first knee replacement on my left leg was done 10 years ago by a different orthopedic surgeon. I recovered completely from that surgery as well. I am grateful for having had an excellent surgeon for each knee replacement. However I recovered way more quickly from Doctor Jenkins knee replacement than from the first knee replacement . It is as if the artificial knee had been singularly designed for me! After two weeks I was walking with no cane. I was able to ride a bike after two weeks with no pain ( stationary bike)
Apr-2024

It’s been five years since I’ve had bilateral knee replacements with Dr. Jenkins. This surgery was life changing and I couldn’t be happier.

Aug-2023
Great doctor. Surgery went fine, aftercare was unrivaled. Thank you dr Jenkins
Aug-2023
Two things you want in an orthopedic surgeon: a great technician and a great physician.. A great physician is not paternalistic, treats her/his patients with respect as intelligent people and so discusses the pathology and treatment options openly and works to agreement on the path forward. Beyond this, for me, a great physician is a science/physiology nerd: advanced medicine goes beyond just pathology. The technician part is the creative, precise craftsmanship of actually dissembling the body and rebuilding it to effect. Derek Jenkins is great, holistically: the two criteria above, yes, but, too, he's kind and observant/attentive.
Jul-2023
Survey is 8 seconds so was my visit!!!

It’s been two years since FKR and I’m still in pain. Dr Jenkins told my ex Ray was great. He felt my leg and I told him when it hurt.

very easy to talk to about your issue
Aug-2022
Although thought you’d want to know, your medical secretary, Myra was not patient with me when I asked the question,
“ Why is it important to talk about anesthesia today because no surgery has been scheduled. ? She abruptly left the room, stating, “Patient refusing to answer questions. I’m done.” Her reaction was unprofessional and her
bedside manner was unkind.
It would be helpful, if she would take one minute to explain if a patient has a question. Communication skills were upsetting. Your PA is awesome !
Thank you.

Jun-2022
It was a pleasure to meet with Dr. Jenkins. My wife and I were very impressed. He was friendly, competent, and knowledgeable. I will be booking my knee surgery with him. I was also impressed with his Physician Assistant who gave me an injection in my knee.
Jun-2022
Great
Jun-2022
It’s a three ring Circus there
Jun-2022
Very knowledgeable and kind. Took time to answer all my questions.
Jun-2022
Dr. Jenkins did his best to make my knee right. He was very caring and gave me extra attention. My one criticism is that when I kept telling his staff that something was wrong, it took 7 months before they really looked into it. I am glad I kept squeaking. 7 months of excruciating pain was a high price to pay for a fixed knee.
Jun-2022
What skill..the best..top doctor
Jun-2022
He’s exceptionally thorough and very conscientious . I have recommended him to all my family and friends for their hip or knee replacements or revisions . Both my sister and I have the highest regard for Dr. Jenkins for his incredible work that he has done for both us. After my hip replacement I had I felt like I was 15 years younger. I’ve been able to accomplish so many tasks and enjoy so many activities. I’m so happy with my results from my right hip surgery I am scheduled to have my left hip in the early fall
Jun-2022
Excellent, professional, knowledgeable, and gives patient a sense of confidence.
Jun-2022
He was kind and he listened
Jun-2022
No doubt a well educated, top surgeon in a fabulous practice group. Bedside manner not the best. Not empathetic. Doesn’t explain things well. After waiting 45 minutes to see Dr. Jenkins I would have expected more than 7- 8 minutes with him to discuss whether to replace my hip. Hip surgery is a big deal to me but routine to him. He was not clear on why the hip should be replaced. Maybe it should be replaced but I would like to understand why and the benefits I would receive after undergoing the aggravation and risk of surgery,
Jun-2022
Felt very comfortable with Dr. Jenkins. He was attentive and listened to me.

May-2022
I have never been treated so rudely and disrespect by an individual let alone someone who calls himself a Dr. I was talked to like a criminal, left with such anxiety and my 81 year old mother who has stage IV cancer and alzheimers was very visibly upset. Upon doing research found that his allegations were incorrect and I left there without a diagnosis due do this outburst and ended my evening in excruciating pain again. I will be reporting him to the board, the state, University Orthopedics and to anyone I know never see this poor excuse for a human being ever, EVER!!!

Mar-2022
Everything is great with doctor. I believe he is the best. Man of few words, but a great surgeon.
I do have a problem that I would like to address. This past visit I had to wait over an hour. The same thing happened last time, but it was an hour and a half. I didn't mention it because I didn't know if it was an isolated situation, but looking back the last three visits have had longer than usual waits. It is a bigger problem when one has received a ride and they have to sit in the car and wait, while I wait in a room doing nothing.
Mar-2022
Dr. Jenkins is extremely thorough, listens to me and offers various options for treatment. Hailey the PA was also wonderful, attentive and did a great job with my injection.

Dr Jenkins is top notch. I had two hips replaced, 4 months apart. Im still within one year of the first surgery and I truly feel amazing. I owe it all to him and his dedication to his craft. Thank you Dr. Jenkins.

I have had my 2 hip replacements performed by Dr Jenkins and I could not have picked a better surgeon. My life changed considerably when I was able to return to a previous lifestyle of movement and feeling pain free.
I cannot recommend him enough. What an amazing surgeon.

A little challenging for me to explain my recovery issues after my hip surgery.
Nov-2021
I don’t understand why you send these emails. Nothing gets done when there are complaints. He did a perfect replacement but, will not address the problems I am having.

Dr. Jenkins does fantastic work! I just returned from a cross country drive with several hikes in National Parks. I have my active life back because of these two awesome hips and Dr. Jenkin’s surgical talent. I am very grateful.

Turned out to be a better experience than expected. Dr was attentive and asked questions. And more importantly answered my questions. I did not feel rushed. Everyone was very respectful.

Dr. Jenkins is great. He replaced my left hip and I am very happy with the results after 4 years or more. My only complaint is how long I always have to wait to see him.
Sep-2021
I understood the Doctor was super busy, even though I waited in the room for bit longer, but as a patient, you always want to get the best doctor to help your problems. Therefore the better doctor you see the longer time you wait, because he has too many patients.
Sep-2021
Dr Jenkins was very nice and upfront, however, my disappointment comes from la k of communication from the office. I was given an appt 2 months out, calling frequently for a cancellation to be moved up, finally got an appt only to find out that Dr Jenkins ONLY does hip replacements and is unable to help me. I was initially told that he takes care of everything related to the hip. Just glad I found out sooner than later. No problem taking my $40 copay though
