Good experience
Providence Patient
Dr. Lovell is very knowledgeable and personable. He is willing to try things to help my ambulation and also ordered the MRI I needed to see what my knee diagnosis was (no other Ortho has done this in the past 15 years). No other doctor in the past 15 years was willing to help me with increasing the movement of my knee (have had multiple surgeries and two TKR) and had stated that "this is the best it will ever get". I wish I had see Dr. Lovell again many years ago for his advice. I left his office with hope.

Had right knee replacement 1 1/2 ago with different provider.my knee is definitely better than what it was, but not as good as I hoped for. Now it is time to do the other one.

Dr.Lovell has an open and warm bedside manner. He set the agenda and followed it. He carefully listened to me, then asked questions, then went through a very thorough listing of treatment options.
