I saw Dr. Tillett because he was supposed to operate on me the next day for my hip replacement. Upon looking at the way most of my weight is distributed in my thighs, Dr. Tillett shared with me a possible side affect that generally happens to patients with heavy thighs. Once he told me about this stretched nerve that can happen with a posterior surgery, he told me that the anterior surgery would be a better alternative for me. He then contacted other surgeons who could possibly work me in, and he arranged for me to see the new surgeon the next day! I appreciate Dr. Tillett 's honesty. He could've easily gone forward with my surgery, and I would've been none the wiser. Dr. Tillett has intergrity, compassion, experience, and great knowledge! I truly appreciate Dr. Tillett!!

Dr Edward Tillett is one of the best practitioners I know. I actually flew to Louisville from New York City just to see him. He Is a credit to his profession, not to mention a very nice person who clearly cares about the health and general well being of his patients. Should I need help in the future with any orthopedic situation, he will be my first choice as a care provider.

March 15 was a post operative visit following total knee replacement nby Dr. Tillett. This was the third surgical procedure performed on me by Dr. Tillett in the approx. 15 yrs. I have been a patient in this practice. This doctor is EXCELLENT. Each of the three surgeries performed by the doctor were uncomplicated from beginning to end and beyond. In my numerous interactions with this practice I have never had an untoward interaction with any member of the office staff, medical support team or care provider. My only regret is that Dr. Tillett is not a primary care provider because I would absolutely select him as my No. 1 care provider!
