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.

Amazing! Painfree! Happy!
Simply amazed at the results in only two weeks. No pain from the time I woke up from surgery. I only felt a soreness/stiffness in my thigh muscle. I used the walker for about 10 days and now only the cane. I can get up from a chair now and don’t have that shooting pain. I do my daily strength exercises, and I feel stronger every morning after a good night sleep. I can’t say enough how grateful I am for this surgery. It has given me back the mobility that I lost. Also I know my mental health is so much better. I feel strong and so happy now. My husband says the fun me is back. I highly recommend Dr Fowble and his staff. The anterior approach is awesome. Everyone in the office is so nice.

Hip and shoulder
Dr. Fowble did a total hip replacement for me 5 years ago. When my shoulder became a problem I was happy to hear that he does shoulders too. I think he does great work. If I ever need it again, I trust him to do it.

very frustrating experience. I called to make an appointment and I told them I needed a shot in my hip. I was asked if I wanted my appointment in Lexington which I said of course, I live in Lexington. I arrived at my appt., in Lex., and was told my appt was with Dr. Fowble. I responded that I didn't know he did shots and was told he didn't. They told me I had to see Dr. Fowble so he could the appt. WITH Dr. Armsey. After waiting 42 minutes Dr. Fowble walked in and asked why I was there. Said he wasn't even going to charge me for the appt. and walked out. His warmth was overwhelming to say the least. I waited a few minutes and went to the receptionist that set up an appt for me. When I went out I stopped at the check out and the young lady told me the nurse told her that I had to see Dr. Fowble. I think a LOT of people need to work on being better informed of their jobs.

Hip Resurfacing
Dr Fowble did hip resurfacing surgery on both of my hips restoring pain free range of motion and allowing me to again live an active life doing what I want to do, not having to sit on the sidelines watching others enjoy life.

Came in three weeks in a row for shots in a day, and even though it was painful, Dr. Fowble talk to me right through it and in a minute is over. He recommended the treatment and I am so glad because my knee is 100% better.
