• When choosing a doctor, I like to read reviews to help me in my decision. I was very fortunate to have met Dr. Mitchell Wattles in November 2023. I could not find any negative reviews of him. I had been dealing with arthritis and bone spurs in both hips for a couple of years prior and had previously sought treatment. At the time I first saw him I thought I was just going in so I could get a refill on my arthritis medicine. I walked out of there receiving an injection in my left hip and within a couple of days that hip was feeling the best it had in quite a while. I also walked out of there, really liking Dr. Wattles. He is very pleasant, attentive, answers all your questions and truly seems to care for the best outcome for his patients. Several more visits for injections, but not as positive results. My condition was just deteriorating. He was so confident in the hip replacement procedure that it made me confident enough to get it done. By the end of February 2024, I was ready. In May 2024 I had the left hip replaced. It was such a positive experience that I did not hesitate to get the right hip replaced in October 2024. Everybody is different, but for me the pain was minimal compared to the pain I was previously experiencing. I will say it is very important to do physical therapy for a positive outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Wattles for any orthopedic needs. If you are hesitant on getting a hip replacement you will not be after talking to him. I will also say that Rebecca Stauder, his nurse practitioner, is just as pleasant and was able to answer all my questions at my follow up visits. I am very appreciative of the care I received. I am looking forward to this new year of being able to be more physical and pain free.

• Dr. Matijakovich is an amazing doctor. He is pleasant and professional. He listened to concerns I had and thoroughly explained what was going on during my entire Reversed Should Replacement surgery and follow-up. He never hesitated to answer the list of questions I brought to the office. His directions to physical therapy were thorough. I would definitely recommend him as a highly qualified Orthopedic surgeon.
  His nurse, Shontay is very personable, a good listener and she does get back with you when you call with any questions. Her smile brightens your day. Her professionalism is excellent.

• My overall experience with Dr. Wattles was excellent. I have been to 2 other orthopedic surgeons and neither of them explained the procedure to me the way Dr. Wattles did.
