I have decided to use Dr. Pelt for my second TKA that should let you know what I think about his care.

December 05, 2012

The Dr. and the PA were very caring and gave and answered all of my questions.

Once again...... I usually use the VA where I never see the same person twice. Questions are never answered, decisions are never discussed. What's not to like about the Univ Medical.

November 13, 2012

I really like Dr. Pelt, Kristie and the rest of his staff. Everyone is attentive, helpful and friendly. I will strongly recommend Dr. Pelt and his staff to anyone who will listen to me.

I had a little confusion about getting a physical before my surgery. I guess some people need test that are done at the U but because I was in good health I didn't need to get the extra test. That was the only confusion I had. By the time I reread the papers which I was given, if I had need any additional test it would have been too late to schedule them. But I guess if I had needed them the staff probably would have discussed that with me sooner.

My experience was pleasent and my time was well spent.

September 17, 2012

I had some concerns about my progress and the appearance of the scar and the knee area in general. They were all very forth coming about where I am in my progress. Which is very good. They also informed me about the scar and appearance of knee which has made me feel confident that all will be well. I just have to have a little more patience. I just want to all better NOW!
