- May 26, 2022 The best ortho doctor.
- May 21, 2022 Dr. Humble was the best!!!!! A professional, caring person. The knee replacement could not have gone any better. I am currently at eight weeks out and am truly amazed at my recovery. I only wish I would have had it done earlier. Dr. Humble has given me my life back. After eight years of pain with every step, I am now pain free a lot earlier than I expected. Dr. Humble and his assistant answered all my questions that I asked. He is keeping me informed on my recovery. I will say, for four days after surgery there was a LOt of pain. After the fifth day, each day brought less and less pain and the path to no pain has been a lot faster than I imagined. Even my surgery scar after eight weeks has all but disappeared. Dr. Humble also provided me with an in home care person (Nicole) who was outstanding, in helping me recover. I could go on with more and more praise for this doctor, but my space is limited. For anyone reading this and thinking of knee replacement, if you have no underlying health issues, please get your life back and let Dr. Humble give you a new lease on life. Listen to him and even though we are all different with this type surgery, I believe you will be glad you had it done. Thanks to Dr. Humble and his entire staff---God bless you all.
