Review for Dr. Pothineni
He was extremely knowledgeable about the hip procedure. Went above & beyond answering all of my questions. I felt very comfortable in his hands with the surgery. Plus, I can’t say enough about Makenzie Dukes. She is absolutely amazing. Will answer any questions you may have. None are too silly....

Review for Dr. Salin
