Best shoulder and knee Dr .
I saw Josh Mullins today for an injection in my shoulder. I did not see Dr. Stapleton. I have been considering shoulder replacement surgery and have many questions, so I began talking with Josh about surgery. He was clear in his explanations and actually got a model of the shoulder and showed me my situation while referring to the model and my recent x-ray.,He did an excellent job of addressing my questions and I can make a more informed decision based on what Josh explained.
Josh was great!!! We saw him today! He is very informative and helpful!!! Dr Stapleton is a very good surgeon! I would recommend this team for anyone who needs Orthopedic Surgery!!!
My Doctors are the best. Excellent staff.
The best! Fantastic and informative. Keeps up to date and keeps me going.
Very details about my problem. Explain everything that I understand.
very good doctor. he has operated on my shoulders and left knee in the past.
Dr. Stapleton has been an absolute blessing throughout the journey I have been on with double knee replacement. He is always direct and provides his patients with the information they need to make informed decisions and to also understand the process from surgery to recovery. This time last year, I did could not have ever imagined that I would be where I am now. Dr. Stapleton, thank you, bless you, and I salute you for the excellent care you have provided to me.
I actually saw Josh Mullis, Dr. Stapleton’s PA. Josh was excellent. He explained what was going on with my knee and gave me options for how to move forward. He also recommended further testing on my shoulder. I felt very well informed and look forward to having Dr. Stapleton and Josh on board for my treatment plan.
Very personable. Clearly explained my condition and options available to me. Made me feel very confident in him and the procedure I chose. Excited even! I really like Dr Stapleton!!
