Doctor Powell took a lot of time with me and he was so relatable. I was very skeptical of surgery but after Doctor Powell explained to me my options. I was convinced in my mind that it was time for knee replacement surgery. Doctor Powell said, i will take care of you. I knew he was the right man for me. After surgery and seeing through X-rays the results. I was so impressed with doctor powells work. He makes you feel very comfortable around him and confident. He’s the best.
