Dr. David Stokes, MD

In decades of dealing with orthopedic physicians, Dr Stokes is the first who has offered an immediate and uncomplicated solution to my problem knees. Just a great doctor.

Explained in detail why my shoulder needed to be replaced and what to expect afterwards. Had I known the outcome would be so good I would have done it years earlier rather than live in pain.

Dr Stokes was the only person to figure out my neck pain after seeing 2 others. And when I made the mistake of throwing logs down the hill after a storm, he fixed my shoulder. :-/ Excellent care by the staff as well and the PA Richard is very smart, and incredibly kind. Once again, just like all the staff here.

Billing department is horrible, I missed one payment after being consistent for a year & they turned it over to collections. I so frustrated

Took time to explain what was going on with my knee and what could be done for improvement with out surgery.

I heartily endorse and enthusiastically recommend Dr. David Stokes, PA Nicki Peters, and PT Pooja Kalaria. You cannot go wrong by selecting them for your orthopedic care. I've had problems with right shoulder pain since 2005. It got worse and worse as the year went by, even though I went through PT and home exercises. In 2017, my MD told me was going to send me to the best shoulder guy in Atlanta, Dr. David Stokes. Dr. Stokes turned out to be exactly like my MD: warm, friendly, approachable, incredibly knowledgeable. He evaluated my shoulder, looked at the X-rays my MD took, and told me that my shoulder was osteoarthritic from years of wear and tear. No cartilage. Bone against bone. The only option left was a total shoulder replacement. We scheduled it for early December, 2019. The operation went exceedingly well. Dr. Stokes has great surgical skills and a fantastic bedside manner. He has a calming, reassuring personality, which is exactly what you need in circumstances like this.

Dr. Stokes repair my rotator cuff several years ago. His follow-up staff was excellent and I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

Dr. Stokes provided exceptional treatment for my rotator cuff repair. I had surgery in June 2020 to repair a major tear in my supraspinatus. The surgery was a success and I have regained much of my mobility and working on the strength.

Made time for me (same day), very little wait, He and "Kat" were awesome! Friendly, great attitudes, willing to take the time to answer even my "little" questions.

I highly recommend Dr Stokes and his PA Nikki.

I have had both rotator cuffs repaired by Dr. Stokes. The most recent surgery 4/27/20. Dr. Stokes is a great physician with a wonderful bedside manner as well as his personality. I highly recommend Piedmont Orthopedics, as well as the physical therapy group. Outstanding!

Dr. Stokes was very nice. Answered all of my questions and spent good amount of time in the diagnosis. Overall I was extremely satisfied!!

I have had multiple ortho surgeries for knee, shoulder, neck, and carpel tunnel. My best experience by far was with Dr. Stokes for a shoulder replacement surgery. Wish I had used him for all of my other surgeries. He and Nicole provide outstanding care before and after the surgery.

He came in smiling with a handshake as greeted me..asked the questions and asked if i had some for him..went over file..exam..told me what he was doing..laughed.. talked..made me feel at ease..did what expected from a Dr. and he's a good..as they say..he had good bedside manners..knew his stuff...caring n nice attitude..

Very attentive and informative. Office staff was excellent.

Great bedside manner. He has performed surgery on both of my shoulders, and he is top-notch.

Dr. Stokes is a kind, caring and considerate physician that takes the time to listen and not beat around the bush with you. He's well versed in his field of practices and has great compassion towards his patients. I've been a patient for many years as well as my spouse and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of an orthopedic physician/surgeon in need of care. His professionalism is outstanding to say the least. Thanks Dr. Stokes for the great care/service I've received.

I went to another Orthopedic doctor for 2 months. The doctor did not listen to me and I realized i needed a 2nd opinion. I made an appointment with Dr. Stokes. He showed the difference of my xrays I brought. We scheduled surgery and now I am on my way to recovery. I am so glad for 2nd opinions and thankful for a doctor who actually listens.

This was my first experience. It was excellent. I was quickly signed in and all the paper work was taken care of very quickly. I waited about 5 minutes and then was brought back to the exam room. Some quick questions and then x-rays were taken. A short time later Dr. Stokes came in to examine my shoulder and he worked through a solution for me.

Personal, makes you feel important and does not rush. He has done more for me in one visit than my doctor at school did in 5 months.
