Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Mark Petty is one of the best
Dr. Petty has done both of my knee replacement surgeries. I was happy to have him do them as l never had a problem with the first surgery and was able to do everything after the surgery that l had done before. He was always willing to take extra time to explain exactly what was going to happen before, during and after surgery and what to expect. His staff was helpful and knowledgeable if you had any questions that you may have forgotten to ask, they were able to answer them or said they could check and call you back. I have recommended Dr. Petty to several relatives and friends.

Best possible outcome.
Dr. Petty and his staff run a very efficient practice, and still make me feel they have all the time I want with them.

Doesn’t listen. Doesn’t care.
Recently had knee injections with Dr Petty. My pain increased instead of decreased. I have had these injections many times before, but this time (my first with him) was different. I kept telling him it was different! However I found him to be less interested in why my pain was worse than he was in rushing me to a total knee. He even refused to order an MRI, or investigate further!

My experience with Dr. Petty was atrocious. I saw him in February 2020. He was dismissive and condescending and diagnosed me with bursitis in a five minute consultation. Turns out I have a complex torn meniscus, which he might have determined if he had bothered to order an x-ray or MRI and which is now unrepairable and might have been at the time, but who knows since he didn't bother to DO HIS JOB. Once I was able to see my primary physician in person, he ordered x-rays and an MRI. Have gone back to the Orthopedic Institute but not to see this fool.

When literally all his other doctors missed the problem, Dr. Petty found the infection in my father’s knee. His perseverance in discovering the underlying cause of pain and inflammation was remarkable given the easy dismissal we received from so many others. We cannot offer any higher recommendation. Dr. Petty is simply the best!

Dr Petty performed a hip replacement for me in April 2015. The result could not have been better! I have gone from quite a bit of pain to virtually none. My first thought on beginning even a short walk used to be " well it's going to hurt". Now it is as though there had never been a problem. Dr. Petty uses proven implants that have produced a good result many times in his practice. He did not explain recovery therapy at all but N. Fl mdc is professional and I had home visits 100 mi away.
