Full hip replacement went well. No pain other than healing the tissue and muscle to get to the hip. Looking forward to getting back to life as I once knew it. Highly recommend.

I wanted to take a moment to thank and recognize Dr. Carothers and his team at NMO for the expert and professional services that were provided to me for two total knee replacements. I really have no words that properly express my gratitude. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. My experience through both surgeries were as smooth and positive as I could ever have hoped for. My directed recovery and physical therapy also went exceedingly well.While I am no medical expert, my experience with Dr. Carothers puts him at the top of my list. I fully recommend him as a surgeon.I am back to all of my past activities, minus jogging, and I perform it all pain free!. My eternal thanks for a return to an active life.Sincerely,William Goold

Dr. Joshua T Carothers is an excellent physician and surgeon. He is professional and caring and answers questions very clearly. He explains treatment options and gives you his opinion on how to best proceed. He replaced both of my knees, one knee at a time, within four months. I recovered quickly and with much less pain than I had anticipated! Prehab and rehab exercises were essential to my recovery! I would highly recommend Dr. Caruthers to anyone with knee pain or that needs to have a knee replacement! Melanie L.

I have been very pleased with Dr Carothers. He has explained my treatment options for knee pain and my results have been great so far. Eventually, I may need a knee replacement but shots have kept me going fine so far.

I normally don't write reviews in public because I have a public job, but I want to make an exception in this case because I think so highly of Dr. Carothers and of his team.Dr. Carothers has performed one total hip replacement on me and he is doing the other hip in two days. He is a world-class surgeon.I am a physician myself and I hope this means that I have some skill in judging the care rendered by others. What I can say is that Dr. Carothers has a nearly God-like reputation among local physicians and among those who work closely with him (pathologists, rheumatologists, physical therapists, nurses and researchers). As a patient I can personally attest to his work.The first operation took a bit more than an hour and proceeded without complications. I was walking on crutches the next day and unassisted by the end of the second week. At two months out my right hip feels and functions almost as good as the original God-given hip did at age twenty. The fit is tight and fluid and I have no pain at all. The incision has healed beautifully.I might add that Dr. Carother's entire team is superb, but especially Steven, his P.A. and "right hand man". Finally, a note about Dr. Carothers' bedside manner. He is VERY serious and focused and does not waste any time with small-talk. He is all business. And THAT, after all, is exactly what one needs from a surgeon.Dr. Carothers is one of the best physicians I have ever known.
