Professional Competent and Caring, Dr Hood and his medical Team gave me a new hip , a far more mobile life back, at 76. Further, he sealed the outer part of the incision with an excellent glue. No pain or blood or extra hospital trip to extract staples. The sutures are inside. Subsequent recovery pain was relatively minimal. Very grateful. Mary Bookwalter Indianapolis

Dr Hood is amazing. Very nice and answered all questions, and consernes I had all my medications including my pain meds ( very important) prior to my surgery. The day of surgery went very smooth. Dr Hood and his staff put my mind at ease about everything that was about to happen. They sent me home with an ice machine, and had all my future appointments set. I'm half way through my recovery, and all is good. I will definitely be using him when I'm ready to get the other knee done. I 100% recommend Dr Hood for your knee surgery.

I really appreciate Dr. Hood’s manner. He listens and answers all questions, and offers a very skilled procedure to his patients.I was impressed with the organization of all pre surgery appointments and with the Joint Class. That class, as well as the Joint Handbook, offered much information about my total hip replacement surgery. Dr. Hood is part of a very skilled team of professionals whom I credit my very successful surgery and recovery.

From the diagnosis of my ailing hip, through pre-op, post-op, recovery and therapy, Dr. Hood and his staff showed why they are 2nd to none in their profession. POSITIVE results, in a very caring way! This team is amazing.

It wasn't just the visit. It was the early communication by phone, details about what to expect, and even show and tell with the x-rays. It's the way I would design a practice to be. And the outcome of the procedure was great. Thank you.

Doctor Hood repaired a complicated femur break for me. He was the only medical resource in the state of Indiana that could repair my issue. He informed me of what my procedure would be and the challenges I would have. He and his team were there 24/7/365 to meet my needs. I needed his assistance in extending my stay at a physical rehabilitation facility and he wrote a letter to help me remain safe there. Best ortho care subject matter expert in our area.

I went to see Dr Hood for initial consultation and knew immediately that i wanted him doing my surgery. I had a total knee replacement and could not have felt more comfortable with him and his whole team throughout. After surgery, and putting in the necessary work, i was back to normal activity within 2 months. I am excited to get my other knee done by Dr Hood in a few months. Thank you to Dr Hood and his entire team!
