Dr J has replaced both my hips & 1 knee so far and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He explains everything thoroughly and is hyper-vigilant about preventing infection. I recommend him to all my friends!

My follow-up visit five months after total hip replacement surgery went very well: my new hip is working smoothly, no complications. Dr. Jenkins’ concern is both professional and genuine, his surgical work top notch. I feel lucky to be one of his patients.
