Great experience! Got me fixed up and out quickly! Great guy!! I highly recommend.
I saw Dr Slappey's PA, David. David is wonderful. Hevus very knowledgeable and always fixes my knee problems.
Dr. Slappey may be the best surgeon in Georgia! I went to many doctors before deciding on which one would do my knee replacement, and I know I made the right choice! Other doctors told me that I would have a poor outcome, but Dr. Slappey was always positive and as a surgeon, he knows his own abilities and does everything in his power to insure a successful operation. I am thankful and grateful for this talented man as he is superb and his nursing staff is too.
