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. Louis performed double hip surgery on me in June of 2020. My progression to full capability was simply unbelievable. His team is responsive and supportive, Dr. Louis is personally involved pre and post surgery, he has a great bedside manner and a pretty good sense of humor. Truly life changing surgery.

I am surprised at how good I am doing after my hip replacement surgery 10 days ago performed by Dr. Louis. My surgery was not the normal hip surgery but a complex surgery. Because of that I am 50% weight bearing. Dr. Louis only does anterior hip surgery. He is a great surgeon with a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend him to family and friends. I had no pain after surgery and despite everyone telling me I would be in pain. I was in horrible pain before surgery. My neurosurgeon referred me to Dr. Louis and that in itself speaks highly where other doctors recommend him to their patients. Dr. Louis explains everything to you at your first visit and reviewing with you your x-ray. He is awesome! His staff is friendly and courteous. If you want the best ortho doctor, even if it means traveling outside your city, Dr. Louis is the doctor to see.

dr. louis and his team are very professional, efficient, and nice. I had both hips replaced a little over a year ago and couldn’t be more pleased with the result. He is very personally involved in your treatment and care. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I researched and was blessed to have found Dr. Louis as I had been turned down by two physicians in Iowa due to my weight. His approach is anterior which is less invasive and offers a quicker healing time. He listened to my story and told me the only option was replacement of my left hip. I cannot express the fantastic care I received with Dr. Louis and his staff and all throughout my hospitalization. I am three weeks post op and for the first time in 2 years I do not even require a pain pill.

I would highly recommend Dr. Louis to anyone who is considering a hip replacement. I have just had my second replacement done. Last year I did my right hip and this year I did the left one. The recovery has been as expected. He stays in constant contact post-surgery. He also has a wonderful sense of humor. His entire staff is caring. The office staff is friendly.

Dr. Louis is truly a world-class surgeon. He did both of my mom's hips. A month away from 76, she was able to walk within 4 hours of surgery and was discharged out of the hospital at 25 hours from surgery! Pretty amazing. Dr. Louis is a very passionate surgeon, highly, highly skilled, and extremely ethical. You will find no better. Plus, he's compassionate! If you want the best, then Louis is your doctor. No questions about it! We adore him!

I suffered with pain in my hip for many years and the past couple have been severe. I put a replacement off for too long. I saw a couple of surgeons but was not happy with them. I wanted a surgeon that performed the anterior procedure, had a good and caring personality and was affiliated with a top rated hospital that is easy to get to. I was so excited when I went to see Dr. Louis and am so happy that he performed my surgery. I felt so much better even the same day of my surgery! He's great!

I feel that I am progressing much faster than I anticipated. I can pretty much do everything I could do prior to surgery, because of Dr. Louis' no restriction program, and his Anterior method. The pain I felt at times before surgery was worse than anything after surgery. Every healthcare professional I spoke to said that Dr. Louis' patients all progressed faster than most other doctor's, and all said that, if they, or a family member needed this surgery, they definitely would go to him.

Dr. Louis performed an arthroplasty on my left hip on March 13th. Dr. Louis and staff were friendly and helpful from the very beginning despite my many issues with my insurance and surgery clearance. Dr. Louis has a great sense of humor which helped put me at ease through the whole process. I am on the mend and am satisfied with the excellent level of service and care I received from Dr. Louis and his team.

I have had the very best experience with Dr. Louis and his team. He is very easy to talk to and takes the time to explain the procedure in as much detail as needed. His experience as trauma surgeon, his passion for the anterior approach to hip replacement and his long experience with this procedure made him the perfect fit for my situation given I have some hip dysplasia. His office is easy to work with and his staff are dedicated friendly and very clever.

I would recommend Dr. Louis to anyone who needs a hip or knee replacement. He listens to you and genuinely cares about you and your concerns. He does his job and doesn't sound like a salesperson trying to sell you on something you may not even need. There is not enough words to describe how happy I had chosen him for my hip replacement . Absolutely love him and his team!

Dr Louis took the time to listen, then fully explained my hip deterioration in a new light, after many years of appointments with various doctors, chiropractors. I was looking for understanding what was causing my increasing hip pain, options, and a doctor I could trust. Dr Louis' decades of experience, anterior approach to hip replacement, exteremely low infection rate, solid care and recovery, and caring personality were key to my choosing him for my hip replacement surgery.
