Derek Jenkins, MD

Dr Jenkins has been my physician for the past 7 years, replacing both knees. Both surgeries were very successful and I am now able to move without pain and do whatever I want. He is a wonderful & kind man. Highly recommend him.

Professional and very pleasant . I was diagnosed with a broken knee cap and Dr Jenkin’s treatment plan worked acc to plan I am a very happy patient

Gray guy

Very attentive and did not seem rushed. He answered all my questions and explained everything patiently.

Thank you very much for being the Best. I am very excited that my knee finally got done by the BEST.

Dr. Jenkins is great!!! Made me feel comfortable and he was honest and explained everything is great detail. I am so happy that I had him for my surgeon! Thank you for giving me my life back!!!

Fast and efficient

Actually, cares about his patience

He’s the best

Very thorough.

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.

Worth waiting for!

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.

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

Went over test results and explained things clearly. Good experience

Accommodating, listens to your concerns. Great surgeon. Had a hip joint replacement. I was walking in two days. Driving in three weeks. 1 year later De Jenkins will give me the matching hip.

He’s the best

Very courteous and make you feel comfortable talking to Dr. Jenkins. Would highly recommend his surgical expertise to those who are thinking of total knee replacement.

Excellent!

This doctor is the best ever. I could not walk and now after both knees replaced I can walk with no pain. He did an amazing job. I was so pleased with himand his team.

Very caring and very kind surgeon ! Highly recommended for anyone requiring a total knee replacement.

He was on time to the appointment and friendly. Very professional atmosphere by all that I came in contact with.

Dr.Jenkins is a perfectionist and a very fine gentleman. He is absolutely the best orthopedist I have ever seen

The doctor had great news for me, so that's always a plus. That being said Dr Jenkins is very personable and knowledgeable.

Outstanding

The best surgeon around!!

The Man!

Good surgeon..

He is excellent!

Dr Jenkins, very professional, has more close with me to have me better understand the processes that I would be going through with knee replacement surgery

My surgery went very well. The pain level never exceeded a 5 and was minimal in 3 weeks.The recovery is exactly what the doctor projected. I am moving around in 8 weeks. Very pleased.

He listened to me about my gripe with Miriam Hospital. 2- IV's fell out, 3rd IV put in my hand but never hooked up, bed wetting etc. Wasn't pleasant.

Nice guy, interested in me and not just my medical concern. I had confidence in him.

Best Dr. you could want for knee replacement.

Dr Jenkins is very strict in what he has his patients do before and after the surgery but if you follow what he says you to can be pain free I had both knees done a year apart an am very pleased

Very smart, caring and charismatic.

I couldn’t ask for better care!

Easy to talk to and he replaced both of my knees in 2023 and I'm good to go.

Approachable, funny, professional

Dr Jenkins is an excellent orthopedic He is kind and caring that is why I had my other knee replaced and continue to recommend him and Stacey at Kettle Pt.

Dr. Jenkins is absolutely outstanding. Has to be one of the best hip surgeons in New England.

A great doc and great guy. Straightforward, no-nonsense, Solid advice. Found things that other docs failed to see. His surgery has stood the test of time.

Very knowledgeable and highly skilled !

Great technical skills and excellent personality!

A physical with a personality, great guy and awesome surgeon. He takes the time to listen to you, answers your questions and explains everything.

Made me feel like I was wasting his time.

I was blessed the day I meet him. He is a very doctor.

Absolutely fantastic. So happy that I chose Dr. Jenkins to do my surgeries.

conscientious and professional, highly recommend DR Jenkins to all friends and family

A PLUS PLUS

Deep level of understanding patient needs

Very satisfied with the care I received from the Doctor and his team.

Very professional and upbeat in his manner.

Very satisfied with the results of my knee surgery

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)

Great result

Great, professional expertise as always.

Dr Jenkins was extremely thorough, listend to my concerns. Explain my procedure and what to expect. He was extremely positive and optimisic.

Same super professional, patient friendly Dr Jenkins, as always. Best of the best.

Nothing but the best from the beginning to the end. Thank you all for providing such good support and comfort through the process of knee surgery.

He did a great job on my right knee. I’m going back for the left.

Excellent doctor and has added values of being; pleasant, patient, understanding and compassionate. You feel very confident right from the 1st time you meet him. Thank you Dr. Jenkins!

Arrived at 6:15 am for check in. From start to finish the team was very informative and professional. I was home at 1pm from there provided limo and nurse. I feel very good and relieved the next morning. Thank You Dr. Jenkins and team.

Calm demeanor, clear explanation of what to expect, and so far so good on results.

The best around!

He’s a joke! Horrible service! Seems like he was in a hurry and wasn’t helpful at all! Will never go there again!

Dr Jenkins is a superb surgeon and has an excellent bedside manner. Highly recommended!

There is no reason to see anyone else.

Terrific surgeon, does a great job, very personable

Dr Jenkins was excellent to deal with. He explained the diagnosis in a way that was easy to understand & all the options & answered all my questions

Surgical skills impeccable however post op disappointing as he rushed through visit and was done, walking out door even as I continued to ask questions. Was not expecting that

Dr. Jenkins quickly reassured us with confidence of our choice of surgeon and was thorough to explain the plan. We knew right from the beginning that Dr. Jenkins was thorough when X-rays also of my hips were taken which he reassured that my hip bones were in good shape. Thank you Dr. Jenkins!

Dr. Jenkins is very through and has great bedside manner.

An expert surgeon and all aspects of surgical scheduling are handled by his superb office manager, Brittany.

Always a pleasure to meet with Dr Deric. His knowledge always amazes me.

Great Surgeon

Terrific doctor who provides great care!

Very efficient

Very friendly but at times I felt I annoyed him by asking a question about medicine I have to apply to psoriases! He was a bit curt -he seems rushed was not at all concerned that I had 5tt free fall 4 days ago onto a hardwood floor onto my back -strained my neck and back and immediately had rib pain and sob I

Experienced Professional Proficient Personable

Very professional

He is very professional and a great surgeon. I had a knee replacement done. Even the scar looks good!!

Great outcome, great service, top notch Doc!

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. Dr. Jenkins is a wonderful surgeon and always made me feel like he truly cared about my health. If you need this surgery or are on the fence about it, make an appointment with Dr. Jenkins. It’s wonderful to be able to walk with no pain.

My visit felt rushed.

My right knee needs to be replaced but first I have to clear up the ulcer on it. I was impressed because Dr Jenkins wouldn't do the surgery since I am at risk for infection.

Answered all my questions. Was direct & professional.

What a kind, concerned and professional surgeon. We could not have been more pleased with Doctor Jenkins and his staff.

Excellent surgeon.

Outstanding Doctor

Dr Jenkins is always so positive about patient care My knee replacement was a big decision for me. I placed all of my confidence with Dr Jenkins and am so glad I did. It was a total success

Dr. Jenkins preoperative communication was clear, direct, and confidence building. The care from the entire team on the day of my surgery was top notch. Steve the hip will not be missed.

I have great confidence in Dr.Jenkins. This is the second knee he will operate on for me.

Dr. Jenkins is a great surgeon and very informative. I highly recommend him.

Great doctor. Surgery went fine, aftercare was unrivaled. Thank you dr Jenkins

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.

Survey is 8 seconds so was my visit!!!

Hip joint replacement. 2 weeks into healing and I am walking without assistance of any appliance. I’m taking care of myself and building back strength. It’s amazing. Thank you God and thank you Dr Jenkins and team.

I’m really happy Dr. Jenkins recommended I try a cortisone injection. My knee is feeling much, much better ! Finally, had a solid night’s sleep. The first in a long time ! My mood is great today !

Dr Jenkins is very professional, Kind and thoughtful. I appreciate everything he has done for me 🙂

I only saw him for 3 minutes. The PA spent most of the visit with me. I would have liked to have seen my x-rays.

DR. Jenkins is an excellent doctor who puts his patiences needs first.

Doctor Jenkins is nice enough but expect two wait two. Hours after your appointment time.

Very good visit

Dr. Jenkins is absolutely a superb physician. His concern for patients first is so apparent as he preps his patients for surgery the day of and before. He goes above and beyond what I've experienced with other doctors in my life.

Friendly, very informative. Fast, but hears what you say. He makes sure you understand risks, complications and pain levels without scaring you. He assures that you’re in good hands with him and his methods. I have to believe his team is on it!

Doctor Jenkins was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and personable. I will be having surgery sooner than later with him .

Nice firm handshake Seems to favor knee replacement although it’s not bone on bone Suggested another cortisone shot and perhaps gel shot - suggested sock for endema of ankle Will see me again in six weeks

Dr Jenkins is delightful and efficient, but he always seems extremely rushed. About 1/3 of our brief conversation took place as he backed up toward the door to make a quick exit.

Need to say goodbye to pt and ask if they have questions. Ch

Listened & gave good answers to questions! But i wish he had talked to me prior to ordering Xrays as he already had them from after a fall , AND I knew the pain was not related directly to anything structural with the hip, but with soft tissues.

Great physician and staff.

He’s sending me for blood test, to see if I may have an infection. I’m also going back to PT. I’m seeing him in about two months. Dr Jenkins is great ! We just need to figure out what’s wrong.

Great doctor pays attention to detail. He is involved start to finish sees you before you head into the oar you see him in the OR talking to you come out from the OR recovery he out there talking with you great doctor.

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.

Explains things very well and answers your concerns

Dr. Jenkins is extremely competent, listens to my concerns and acts on them. My visit today was very good.

Describes every step of a procedure plinly.

Although the office was very busy, I really didn't wait at all! Dr. Jenkins is always pleasant and very informative -- funny too! His staff is welcoming. I always recommend Dr. Jenkins to friends and family. He's awesome!

I'll let you know more after my procedure.

Took his time on listening to my issues and have good directions

Today’s visit was very good and quick. Now am waiting for a cancellation so my surgery can be performed earlier than expected.

Very patient when explaining procedures

Concise, direct.

Great doctor

Dr. Derek Jenkins is very good. Explain everything to his patients in details. His a good listener. Make his patients feel very comfortable. He has very good beb side manners and so on.

Dr. Jenkins replaced my knee and hip, doing an outstanding job. He continues to monitor my status and told me my joints look fine. I am fortunate to have Dr. Jenkins' care.

Dr Jenkins is very positive in his profession.

1st visit--Very good experience with Dr. Jenkins and everyone from checkin thru checkout. I am very comfortable with having my Surgery by Dr. Jenkins.

So far so good. Surgery went well with no complications. It’s only my day after but I’m comfortable and can go up and down stairs at home as well as walk around the house (with walker). Dr.’Jenkins and team have answered all my questions and set up a supportive rehab system.

After getting my knee replacement surgery #1 done elsewhere and it went bad very quickly, I contacted University and setup an appointment with Dr. Jenkin. Year number 3 of revision knee replacement and I am back to doing everything! Dr. Jenkins deserves more thank 5 stars and I recommend him to everyone, he is the best surgeon with a great personality and bedside manner.

reasonable second opinion.

Easy to talk to. Will answer all your questions. Explains all options.

Great facility. Great doctor👍

World class orthopedic surgeon in my own state!

Dr Jenkins is the Best Dr!!! He is an excellent Surgeon, and I highly recommend Dr Jenkins!! JV

Dr. Jenkins gave me all the mobility I had lost without the pain. I have a new lease on life. If you are reading this and in a similar situation please do yourself right and get it done.

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.

Great

It’s a three ring Circus there

Very knowledgeable and kind. Took time to answer all my questions.

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.

What skill..the best..top doctor

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

Excellent, professional, knowledgeable, and gives patient a sense of confidence.

He was kind and he listened

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,

Felt very comfortable with Dr. Jenkins. He was attentive and listened to me.

Always very kind and pleasant. Understands what I am doing. Waiting for knee replacement. I explained why and he was understanding . Thanks Dr. Jenkins for your kindness .

Dr Jenkins is a genius! He is the best at what he does. The surgery was more complex than just a knee replacement and I am recovering at lightning speed!

Knowledgeable, informative, great communication

He is a miracle worker. My new hips gave me a new life and have brought back the activities and energy I had been missing.

Dr. Jenkins is just a fantastic doctor I felt so comfortable under his care for my total knee replacement

The best !!

Does not take heaver people

Spent about 5 minutes with me

Dr. Jenkins was very engaging and very knowledgeable. He took my overall health into account and offered me all of the options available and patiently explained them.

He’s the best!

Dr. Jenkins has always spent the necessary time to answer all questions I may have. He is personable, intelligent, and an excellent surgeon.

Dr. Showed interest and conformity with me in my continued recovery. Very good bedside manner with his patients.

Derek as easy to speak with and the staff was exceptional. Craig

Dr. Jenkins is very knowledgeable and professional. I trust him with my care.

Just had a total hip replacement with Dr. Jenkins 3 days ago, and I can not say enough good things about my experience with him and the entire staff at University. Dr. Jenkins is an amazing surgeon and a great person. I could not have asked for or imagined a better experience. Thank you Dr. Jenkins

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!!!

Dr Jenkins is just a great guy.

He is the consummate expert in hip replacement . Kind attentive and helpful throughout the experience

Thorough Patient Complete attention to detail

I was there 2 1/2 hours for a 5-minute rushed appointment with the doctor. I had X-rays on 01/19/2022 and again today. The X-rays only took 20 minutes. The doctor gave me the bum's rush.

Answers all you questions.

The best doctor.

Dr Jenkins is very clear and concise, but he always seems to be very rushed.

Couldn’t find any better doctor for my condition than Dr Jenkins. Took over 40 years of pain out of my life. Besides his professionalism and ethics.

I can’t say it enough but Dr. Jenkins is allowing me to live a fun and high quality life. I keep forgetting I even had knee and hip surgery. I feel so great and I feel so fortunate to have him as my doctor.

Dr. Jenkins and his staff provide get service and customer care. Today for my annual hip checkup they were able to accommodate X-rays and diagnosis for my knee,

Excellent experience! The doctor and staff were outstanding!!

At six weeks post op I’m walking without a cane! Still needing PT but so far, So good!!

He’s amazing!

Great doctor. Feel very comfortable with Dr. Jenkins. Cares about his patients and listen to my concerns

A very competent physician, he leads a great comprehensive team.

He really knows about knees! Will answer any questions or concerns you may have. Excellent orthopedic doctor!

He is very helpful

I'm very satisfied with the outcome of my knee surgery. A great doctor for knee surgery. You have to work hard doing your part with PT and other non-scheduled excercise to make the most of your knee replacement.

Outstanding Doctor!

Very happy with the results of my surgery.

He is an excellent Dr.

the doctor was very informative and understanding.

Very satisfied with my visit to Dr. Jenkins.

Excellent surgeon!

Always a pleasure to see Dr Jenkins.

He's kind , professsional !!!

My upcoming RTKR...I would not consider any other surgeon performing this on me. In the community, Dr. Jenkins is top doc.

Very informative and helpful.

I truly appreciated Dr Jenkins’ professionalism, knowledge, and kindness. He listened attentively, answering my questions. I know that I am safe in his hands. . . Literally.

Dr. Jenkins is an amazingly talented surgeon. He is straightforward and caring. I have recommended him to many family and friends.

Very helpful.

Helpful and clear about options.

He is very good

Exception doctor. Wouldn’t go to anyone else??

Wow excellent doctor Jenkins I was joint replacement surgery left knee I’m feeling wander full now I woken very well thank you very much I’m ready for rays joint replacement surgery god bless you all doctor

Had lots of questions. Dr Jenkins took the time to address all of my concerns.

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.

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 awesome ! All my questions and concerns that I have been struggling with were answered and I feel confident & I'm ready to move forward with my sergery!!!!!!

He was awesome, very professional and a kind man. I feel like I was in good hands with him!🙂

Very informative and knowledgeable. Was made to feel fully confident in his ability to proceed with knee surgery.

Dr. Jenkins performed my hip surgery and took excellent care of me. So glad I have a new hip, back to taking hikes on trails with my hubby.

Dr. Jenkins is an excellent surgeon. I am very grateful that he got my active life back!

Highly recommend Dr. Jenkins to anyone experiencing knee pain.

Asks you questions, istens to patients, gives suggestions.

a little rushed

Professional, through, honest.

Very knowledgeable and confident

Flat out terrific!

Dr Jenkins was thorough but left the impression he was uninterested and too busy to spend time with me as an 80 year old patient.

Dr Jenkins takes time with you to explain everything and answer your questions. He shows he really crares abut his patients.

I have complete faith in Dr Jenkins. He did a great job with my knee replacement and I’m getting ready to replace the 2nd knee

Informative,friendly and knowledgeable. Look

Terrific!

Very happy with outcome of hip surgery

He really knows his stuff. He obviously is very busy, but he answered all of my questions and provided good advice.

Under Dr Jenkins' expert care, you get a custom implant specific to your unique anatomy. Everything went better than I even hoped for eg no need for anything other than Tylenol once discharged. Will seek out Dr Jenkins again for my other hip. Superlative surgeon.

Doctor Jenkins wastes no time getting to the root of the problem and explains everything very clearly. He is very focused on the patient's needs, and remembers all the exterior factors in their lives that affect the scheduling of their surgery. Very sympathetic person.

Had a very good appointment with Dr. Jenkins and his staff. Nervous going in and feeling very comfortable with what we discussed leaving.

He is a wonderful surgeon who I have recommended to others.

always listens to my concerns and answers questions

Excellent surgeon and outstanding professional demeanor in interfacing with his patients. Highly recommend his services to others.

Very happy and feeling great!

Very thorough explaining everything. Very understanding

Yes

An hour and 15 minute wait for a 9 minute appointment. It’s a factory. Dr Jenkins was very quick. I was disappointed.

Found everyone very nice from X-ray to the Doctor also found the Doctor very nice !!!

Dr. Jenkins reconstructed my crippled knee, replaced my left hip and evened out the length of my legs. My legs are even, and the knee is fully functional. Thank you Dr. Jenkins for giving me my life back!

Dr. Jenkins and his staff were great today during this prepping appointment with Dr Jenkins taking the time to review my concerns and issues and to discuss what he will be doing to address them!

Dr. Jenkins is the best Orthopedic surgeon I know. Dr. Jenkins is empathetic & sympathetic for all his patients. He really cares about his patients.

felt he did not take much time with me.

I was in the room and heard Dr. Jenkins talking to his assistant about my size and me being “heavy”!

Kind, very thorough and very informative and caring Very professional.

Exceptional Care

great experience... always friendly and very knowledgeable.

Took his time to answer my questions. I didn't feel rushed.

My appointment was 2 hours late. He should have apologized .

Dr Jenkins is a great doctor and listens to your problems and does not make you feel he is rushing you or in a hurry to see the next patient.

Straight to the point. Leaves no questions unanswered. Compassionate and empathetic. Left office knowing what I needed to do to benefit from care

He’s the best in the business. Great guy , awesome Doctor. Very professional and courteous. He truly cares about his patients.

Best best best

Great doctor

I had an excellent outcome the full hip replacement that Dr. Jenkins performed.

Friendly; makes you feel comfortable; speaks in laymans terms to make it easier to understand.

Dr. Jenkins has been very good at communicating with me. His office is very receptive and attentive. While I have had some difficulties since my surgery, I know that he did his very best.

He is courteous and explains things well. I would highly recommend him as a surgeon.

Dr Jenkins did a fabulous job on my new hip. The scar was the straightest my PT had ever seen. My recovery was fast and I was walking five miles by week four.

Right on time. Very thorough.

Dr. Jenkins is thorough, informative and chooses his treatment based on the patient's needs and personal issues.

I had total knee replacement by Dr. Jenkins. He is both professional and personable. His approach is very detail oriented and honest and that is what I would wish for in a surgeon in this situation. He explained all of my options throughly and took the time to answer my questions at every visit.

Interactions with the physician and his medical staff (nurse; X-ray tech) were appropriate: professional, careful, respectful, friendly.

Dr Jenkins did an amazing job on my hip replacement. My appointment was for a one-year, post surgical follow up, and he and his staff were wonderful, as usual.

It was a great visit, from th X-rays that we’re taken, to the medical technician, the PA, and Dr. Jenkins himself. Thank you for my cortisone shot. Hopefully it will do the trick.

He did a nice job on my knee, looks very good but I still have a long way to go.

Dr Jenkins and his staff instill trust. I believe his team is the very best! He replaced my knee 3 years ago and now I'm ready for the other. I know my safety is their top priority.

I had very positive results following hip surgery. Everyone told me they were surprised i healed so quickly.

Long wait this day!

I was very impressed with my first visit with Dr. Jenkins, by his comments about what to expect with my surgery to my hip, and the outcome was exactly the way he had said, he is so sure about himself.

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.

Dr. Jenkins is personable and knowledgeable. I did not have to wait at all today, and that was appreciated.

Absolute best orthopedic physician anywhere! Dr. Jenkins ensures your post-operative success beginning with the pre-operative experience.

Dr Jenkins, & Everyone in office, was polite, kind and helpful. Dr Jenkins was recommended to me, I felt confident in his approach and recommendations for my medical needs.

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.

very good

A little challenging for me to explain my recovery issues after my hip surgery.

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.

Excellent, highly skilled, meticulous orthopedic surgeon. Excellent communication skills with patients and their support system (family).

Friendly ,courteous, helpful, professional. understands all of my needs.
