Aug 29, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Some of the same things and more than five of my family and friends who have had replacements and repairs told me! Dr Ware is top level, the best in his skills and care. Dr Ware's entire crew that I have met are very professional, easy to communicate with efficient and a pleasure to work with. Dr Ware himself takes the time to explain in detail the diagnosis on your MRI, the surgery required and your expected recovery. You know how some doctors have that arrogance factor? Not Dr Ware, excellent "bedside" skills. I just had arthroscopic knee surgery on my right medial meniscus this morning. This cooling unit he ordered, I rate a 10 as well, double thumbs up. I will highly recommend Dr Ware's Team. Thank you, for this opportunity to share my positive surgical experience. Kind regards, [Name]

Aug 13, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I don’t recall Dr. Weare explaining anything about the upcoming surgery. I feel like between Dr. Ware and the gal that checked me in, because I stated that I had no pain at the time, I felt like that was the point of them wondering “ what are you doing here “ type of feeling from them. Maybe he checked records from Dr. Pinney and didn’t need to ask me any questions about the physicalness of the knee. I am contemplating calling back and either another appointment with the doctor or ask some questions through the nurse and have her call me back. The scheduling gal did an excellent job for me.
