An amazing team overall — from the front desk, to the nurses, to the anesthesiologist, and of course Dr. Guild. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I’m one day out of surgery and already grateful for the level of care and professionalism from start to finish. Thank you all.

Had my hip replaced January 12, by Dr Naylor. Couldn't be happier. The office is run VERY efficiently. They are interested in you and very responsive. It was 3 hrs from the time I checked into the center till I was in the car going home. Inquiries to the staff are answered in a timely fashion. Just can't say enough positive things about Dr Naylor and the practice management in general.

Yesterday, I had a total right knee replacement that was successfully performed by Dr. George Guild and his outstanding staff. The full experience was world-class at each interaction. On my initial consult with Dr. Guild, he identified a bone-on-bone issue with my right knee. I scheduled surgery with him. I was immediately contacted through text messages and e-mails to keep me informed of what they expected from me. I was set up to access Force Therapeutics for pre-op and post-op physical therapy. I will say that I had some initial doubts about this approach, but they were all answered in the first couple of weeks. The application gave me a customized physical therapy exercise plan along with educational videos that were relevant to my condition. This service proved to be extremely valuable and patient-friendly. The day of surgery moved like clockwork. The surgery center is modern, clean, and inviting. We were greeted by a front desk staff that were friendly and efficient in coordinating the requured minimal paperwork. I was called back by an input staff member that was responsible for the routine checks necessary for a surgical procedure. Next, the anesthesiologist came by and described the procedure. I was given a muscle relaxant followed by a spinal injection and nerve block. Both injections were painless. I then went into surgery and the knee replacement was performed by Dr. Guild and staff. I woke up in recovery and given crackers and liquids. I think I was also given my first dose of pain medication, but I may be wrong because I was a little groggy. After a few minutes a member of the physical therapy staff brought me a walker and walked me around the facility for a couple of minutes. She made sure I could walk up and down steps and said I was good to go. The whole time from entry to exit was approximately 5 hours. It would have been 4 hours if not for a patient who had an emergency was placed on the schedule at the last minute. Cumming is extremely fortunate to have a world-class surgical practice in our region. Total Joint Specialists performs more knee and hip surgeries than any physician's group in the US. They are also number one in patient outcomes. I feel like these high ratings are strongly deserved based on the excellent care that I received.

Dr. Decook and his team made the knee replacement experience easier than expected. Special recognition for Kara, Anna and especially Jackson Geonis for making me feel comfortable.

This is the best place in the world for anterior full hip replacement. Dr. DeCook and his entire team (physician assistants, anesthesiologists, etc.) were amazing. I walked out same day (with the help of a walker) and my pain level at the end of 24 hours was less than my pre-op pain level I had had for years! Follow-up from the team has also been phenomenal! The below pics are all day of operation - before, RIGHT BEFORE and 7 hours after (family dinner 2 hours away).
