I have only been there twice and every staff works fast to get you in and out. No long waits in rooms or for dr to come in. X-rays are done quick doctor is in quick. He is very thorough and down to the point. for my knee injection came in did it and I was out. so far no complaints. I think he is great including all his staff.

I have been a patient of Dr.Combs for years. He repaired my meniscus in my right knee around 2006, then I tore it again. He put symzisc1 in my knee it lasted about 7 years. Recently he put Durlane in my knee didn't help. The staff got me an MRI in a week and waiting to see what is next. Dr. Combs is a get listener and honest.

I loved Dr. Combs, he has been my orthopedic for many years, I was there in October after waiting 1 month for an appointment and he gave me a cortisone shot on my knee, didn’t help at all so I call back to go see him again and on a very rudeness way they told me they don’t except my insurance any more, then I got a letter from my insurance saying that I could see him until December 31St. They cut me out because in the office they are all rude. I hope this gets to Dr. Combs Desk… This is now January 2023, I couldn’t walk with so much pain, went to see another orthopedic that took X-ray exactly like the technician did on Dr. Combs offices and I had a tear on the meniscus. Surgery was a success… Dr. Christopher Combs is a great doctor everyone that works for him in Lakewood’s offices are very unprofessional…

I was instructed to see him within the 90 day window after he placed my dislocated shoulder. Since he didn’t take my insurance he told me that he couldn’t do anything for me...this was in October. It is now February and I just had another xray. My shoulder is still slightly dislocated and I’m still in pain. I will be seeing a different ortho soon. It appears that he doesn’t care about the patient, just getting paid.

They sae me quickly. He read my xrays and gave me my options. He even drew a picture aa best he could to explain whats wrong and got me a surgery appointment for the next day. He was professional, introduced himself shook my hand and got me in and out quickly
