Always a pleasure and one I look forward to because I get good information and peace of mind to continue exercising and being active. He advises me of my options and instills confidence.

Dr Roberts and his staff are caring and personable professionals and I highly recommend them. He has done 3 of my 4 knee surgeries - if only he had done the first one I'm sure I'd be much better off.
