Dr. Combs handled my father's total knee replacement, and I noticed that he did so with professionalism, and care not often found in the medical field. Often times, as I'm sure many can relate, MD's are pressured to get in as many patients in and out of the office, as such their level of attentiveness and display of care towards their patients is sometimes lacking (to say the least). > > This was not the case with Dr. Combs. So when I came down with a partial ACL tear while playing basketball, Dr. Combs talked me through the reality of the injury, and steps forward. To make a long story short, I had a torn meniscus, and partially torn ACL - and I was a very-serious-now-recreational basketball player (if that makes sense), so this was a big set back in terms of my ability to play freely and to the best of my ability. I opted to just fix the meniscus - even though in hindsight, I realize Dr. Combs essentially said it's probably best to do both meniscus and ACL at the same time - I still decided to resort to Rehab to address my partially torn ACL. > > Long story short, I eventually tore the ACL completely, and came back to Dr. Combs, and he performed my ACL Reconstruction surgery. What I appreciate the most in this whole process, was that Dr. Combs didn't push me to initially have the surgery, given he saw my initial adverseness towards it - given the long process of recovery. He professionally laid out the paths I can take, gave me his opinion, and left me to make the decision. I didn't feel that he viewed me as $$$, and that he had my well-being, mental and physical, in mind - and this makes the entire doctor-patient experience worth while in my opinion. > > The post surgery process has been great, All Thanks to God, and then the professional work of Dr. Combs. > > I personally, would highly recommend Dr. Combs.

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. M.

I can only compare her experience with my own knee replacement (not Dr. Combs). Dr Combs stapled the wound closed, something my doctor said only "lazy" doctors use. He removed her staples obviously too soon because every time she bends her knee for the last week it starts bleeding and oozing. A lot. My doctor was very concerned about the possibility of infection and was careful to cover the incision, but clearly Dr. Combs isn't. When she returned to his office with her bleeding scar they slapped some steri-strips on it and sent her on her way. > > We are talking to attorneys. F.

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. S.

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… G.

Dr. Christopher Combs and his entire staff is awesome, I haven’t seen this kinda professional service in so many years thank you 🙏🏽 I had knee surgery 9/7/2022 and the doctor took good care of me he explained everything detail about my surgery and what to expect after words and always asked if I had any concerns or questions and his entire staff did there part from making sure my meds were sent to the pharmacy explaining everything to me also taking care of my disability and job paperwork. I wish it were more doctors and staff like them. L.
