Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Delee replaced my left knee in 2019. He cut a nerve on the outside of my knee, leaving it numb to this day. He assured me that it would grow back in 12-18 months. Nope. He accidentally cut my gastrocnemius and didn't even know it. It was never stitched. Each time I complained, he ordered more STRETCHING, further extending healing time. Finally, after 3.5 months, he ordered an MRI which showed the damage. As a result, my knee still hasn't healed properly. I can't bend it very far, I can't kneel on it, and I can't stand/walk for long periods. A revision is in my future. He may have been a good surgeon at one time but that time has passed.

Dr. DeLee ee is an Excellent physician. He listens and answers all questions. He always gives patients options before doing surgery. Dr. Delee has a wonderful bedside manner takes his time answering questions after surgery and when visiting patients in the hospital room as if you're his only patient. I highly recommend Dr. Delee as an orthopedic surgeon. Knee replacement surgery.

A little over 13 years ago, at my age 66, Dr. Delee replaced my knee with an artificial one. Today, age 79, I walk about 4-5 miles per day without a limp. I don't think anyone would suspect that I have an artificial knee by the way I walk. It has been a very good decision to have it replaced by Dr. Delee. I think my experience could be used as an ad for this surgery done by Dr. Delee.

Got referral from Family Doctor for Orthopedic Dr. covered by my Humana Insurance. 1st Appointment 01-28-2019. After all x-rays Dr.Jesse DeLee said my left knee was bone on bone and should be replaced. I asked if he took Humana HMO Premier. He said he did and would take care and cover of everything. As I received bills I would refer them to Humana. One bill from the Hospital said I needed to pay and informed them that Humana would pay. On November 25, 2019, Humana sent a letter saying that Dr. DeLee used "An out of network provider" and will not pay that bill. Having the last appointment with Dr. DeLee February 17, 2020, I gave him a copy of letter. He read it and turned his back and walked away ignoring me.

I always heard Dr Delee was a good doctor. That may be so but he was so rude to me that I won't go back. He also told me I was not a candidate for TKR since I was diabetic but he has no basis for that as he never asked what my blood glucose or A1c numbers were.

Dr DeLee is the best - he has performed my two total hip replacements. two hip revisions, and two knee replacements. He is a world-class orthopedic surgeon with a vast amount of knowledge and expertise and is well able to handle complex surgeries.
