He takes his time to make sure that I understand everything and know what to expect, considering everything! I have already referred him to anyone needing an orthopedic doctor.

Dr Cornelius is absolutely the best doctor I have ever had. He took a shoulder of mine that was crushed and operated on at Vanderbilt 2x. He cleaned up a mess and put total replacement in. I still don't have good use of but he took alot of pain away.

Here is an update after 1 year into my knee replacement surgery. From the beginning I was so impressed with incredibly thorough process that Dr Cornelius has put together for his patients. Every step leading up to surgery and through recovery has been planned and executed perfectly. The staff is very caring and professional throughout the process. Dr Cornelius is an exceptional surgeon, with great caring personality. I highly recommend that you choose Dr Cornelius for your knee replacement surgery. He also uses Stryker’s Mako robotic assist machine for more accurate and quicker healing knee replacement surgery.
