I highly recommend Dr Lilly for joint repairs. He did both knees and my hip repair and I can now walk, sit and move without pain or discomfort. I've been able to begin an active fitness plan now.

Dr. Lilly always listens and takes concerns I express to him. These aspects of his character compliment his skill as a surgeon.

Unfortunately when I made the appointment and explained that I needed knee replacement (confirmed in another state) the staff did not advise me that Dr. Lilly was retiring from surgery. So he advised when I saw him that another appointment with a colleague would be need. That couldn't happen for another month. In essence, my appointment was a waste of time and Medicare funds. But Dr. Lilly was fine and his credentials are superb. I wish it would have worked out.
