Orthopedic Patient Testimonials
After I had tried all other forms of treatment from injections to therapy and was told I was too young for surgery, I was referred to Dr. Gates by my PCP for a second opinion. His office got me in for an appointment right away. He told me my knee joint was bone on bone and a total knee replacement was an option. The surgery was quick and easy, with no problems at all. The post-op wound treatment and bandages he used made care easy afterwards and everything healed nicely with no complications. — Dawn
I liked the way the incisions were taken care of after my knee surgery, there was hardly any scarring. I have no complaints and would highly recommend Dr. Gates’ services. — S. Baker
Dr. Gates performed emergency surgery on my femur after a fall, and more recently a total knee replacement. Both surgeries could not have gone better, all the incisions were methodically precise and healed well. After my knee surgery I was on vacation within 5 weeks enjoying myself. — John G.
I recently moved to the area and more recently had a total knee replacement at this location. From my very first visit and throughout all pre-testing and then surgery and now in recovery, this hospital and all its staff were superior in all areas compared to any other hospital I’ve ever used for medical care — top-notch patient care and treatment.
I highly recommend Titusville Area Hospital. — J.B. Kelly
