Dr. Yale Fillingham, MD

Dr Fillingham performed my total hip replacement a moth ago. Results exceed my expectations. I felt in good hands throughout the whole process from the initial appointment through surgery and recovery.

Dr. Fillingham performed a total knee replacement 1 year ago. It was the best decision I ever made. I was never kept in the dark about my treatment or what to expect. Today was my 1 year check up and he was very pleased with my progress, as was I. I will not hesitate to see Dr. Fillingham if needed.

Dr Fillingham was amazing. Great result he came in specially for my operation. To top doc. Great experience

Dr Fillingham is an excellent surgeon, excellent communicator, excellent listener. All around excellent doctor. Dr Fillingham makes you feel so comfortable when you are with him. Answers all your questions. Gives you all of his attention. He is so caring and personable.

Had total hip replacement. Dr. Fillingham had openings for surgery within a reasonable time frame. Very personable; took time to answer all my concerns thoroughly. Surgery went very well and according to expectations. Recommend highly!

Excellent experience with total hip arthroplasty from initial diagnosis through surgery and follow-up. Personable, knowledgable, and skilled surgeon who also answers questions clearly and patiently. If I needed the other hip joint replaced, I would definitely choose Dr. Fillingham.

Excellent surgeon and person. Explained everything clearly and operation ,recovery went well!

I had my right knee replacement about two years ago and looking forward to getting my left done by Dr. Fillingham. He takes the time to listen and figure out the best for you.

I have worked professionally with rehabilitating orthopedically impaired individuals for 40 years. I have encountered all types of people with bad stories about orthopedic surgeons. I can tell you from my own experience with Dr. Fillingham replacing my right hip that he is well- trained, kind, thorough and extraordinarily conscientious. His staff is also kind and thorough. I had a great outcome. I am grateful for his care and I highly recommend him as a hip surgeon

I was needing a third knee replacement of my left knee.My other surgeries were unsuccessful and were done in Florida.Even though I needed the surgery very badly, I was skeptical about finding a surgeon that I could trust to do it right.Dr Fillingham was that surgeon.He explained everything that was going to be done, he was patient and kind. I trusted him.My surgery was successful and I did not even experience the awful pain that I had from previous surgeries.I was walking with a cane in 2 weeks and without a cane after three.Have been cleared for physical therapy at Rothman and cannot wait to start.If you are needing a knee surgery, at least visit Dr Fillingham and his wonderful assistant Leeanne.You will be happy that you did.

Answered all my questions and explained things that I could understand. Very accomodating

Dr. Fillinghham was my surgeon for a right hip partial replacement a year ago in May of 2023. From the moment I met him, I knew I'd made the right choice in selecting him. I never felt rushed and if I had any questions before or after the operation the staff and nurse were always available. He is compassionate and thorough. If your looking for a surgeon and not sure who to see, I highly recommend him. I'm living a pain free life thanks to him.

Very fortunate to have Dr. Fillingham as my surgeon. 6 months since right hip replacement and 1 month since left hip replacement. Things are looking up and am looking forward to being more active once again.

A great team, gives a sense of complete confidence for every step of the way.-Retired Physician

I have already had both my knee replaced. So i was familiar with replacements - I felt Dr. Fillingham was professional, kind and attentive. He answered my questions and explained the procedure - it is pretty cut and dry. The only suggest is that the booklet provided by the practice be updated with current practices.

I always felt like I was in good hands with Dr. Fillingham. Not only has my hip replacement surgery gone very well, he helped to ease my fears from the first visit, to the day of surgery, though to my follow-up visit post-op.

He outright lied to me, he dismisses patient’s concerns and questions, he denies proper medical care even upon request, and appears to be highly invested in protecting the system rather than the patient. He spends less than five minutes in the room with you on any follow up visit, and appears to resent spending even that. His post surgery care, in my opinion, is negligent and I wouldn’t recommend him. At all.

He really felt like he cared. Answered all my questions and very easy to talk to. Made me feel like everything will eventually be ok. 4 weeks in still in some pain but overall I feel great

Two years out having my left hip replaced. I can now do weight lifting squats again with no pain. Honestly it is incredible what joint replacement has done for me. Owe it to Doc Fillingham, an excellent surgeon. Highly recommend

The kindness. compassion, and willingness to try the least invasive treatment first. It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Fillingham.
