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.

Dr. McNamee performed right hip replacement surgery in October. My recovery has been great without any complications. The procedure has restored painless freedom of movement that I have not experienced in years. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Back in 2008 I was diagnosed with a full rotator cuff tear. Dr. McNamee was referred to me as one of the best. I went to see him and he did an awesome job in repairing my shoulder. I have gone to him to him with arthritis in my knees and he has them in check. Now, I have to have my other shoulder operated on and there is no one that I trust more than him. Michael Adams

I just had the carpel release tunnel surgery, it was amazing. both hands were done (Jan2020) and I feel great. My hands do not get tingle, hurt, or numb. Healing was very fast, I was able to get back to work after 1 month. Dr. McNamee is an awesome surgeon and would recommend him.

Several years back I broke my ankle in 14 places. Dr. McNamee was my surgeon. I had a lengthy recovery with being bedridden for 2-1/2 months and then 8-10 weeks of therapy after that. Today, my ankle is like new. No pain, and no restrictions. I thank Dr. McNamee for such great care. Recently, I had a total knee replacement and knew I would go back to Dr. McNamee. The surgery went well, and although I had some issues with my health while in the hospital, I knew Dr. McNamee had my best interest at heart, even though I was going through extreme pain. I had my follow-up appointment today and Dr. McNamee couldn't have been more pleased with my progress. I told him I was working had in therapy and he said that's what he liked to hear. You could tell he was happy and he said this is why he does what he does. Thank you Dr. McNamee for everything you have done, I am extremely appreciative. I would recommend Dr. McNamee over any other orthopedic surgeon around. Thanks again!!

Dr. McNamee had done two reconstructive surgeries on both of my rotator cuffs. One in 2007 and the current one in October of 2019. Upon my surgeries, we were informed that both of my rotator cuffs were completely shredded. I guess you could say that I had challenged Dr. McNamee's ability to surgically repair the damage that I had done. The first surgery was a complete success. I have more movement now than I did before. My second surgery was also a complete success. As of right now I have full use of both arms with no issues. I am ever so grateful for Dr. McNamee and his surgical abilities. I have faith in all that he has done for me and my family. Thank You Dr. McNamee for giving me the use of both of my arms so I can play with my grandsons. Thank You ever so much for putting me back together again for the second time. Sincerely, David Sharpe Jan. 02, 2020

I recently had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists, so glad I had it done. I was only sleeping 2-3 hours at a time before surgery, now much better. My hands don't hurt anymore. I had knee surgery with him in 2015 and a hip replacement. I would never go anywhere else to have something like this done. As far as I'm concerned he's a world class surgeon. The staff is also extremely helpful with getting paperwork filled out for work. I would give him a 10 star rating!

Dr. did 2 hip replacement surgeries in this past year for me. I was treated very well by everyone that I came in contact with. The office is very organized and professional. This is the place to go if you need things done well and with care. I went from having everyday pain in both joints and limited mobility to no joint pain and can do things I have not done in years. I can't thank this team enough!

Recently had my rotator cuff reconstructed after a bad fall. This was a very difficult surgery for me. Dr. Mcnamee and his staff were wonderful and made this frightful experience the best outcome that it could have been. My 4" scar is hardly noticable and it's only been 3.5 months! My arm is almost fully functional and will be soon. The office experience was great as well. I never waited an unreasonable amount of time to see Dr. McNamee. They were very accommodating to schedule my appointments at my convenience. Don't go out of town because Monroe has a "bad rap"! The best orthopedic surgeon is right here in Monroe! ps...…..I've also been treated twice for broken ankles and had the same great experience.

I recently had the anterior hip replacement surgery with Dr. McNamee in Monroe Michigan. The anterior approach involves stretching the muscles instead of cutting the muscles. I experienced zero pain following the operation. After two weeks I am transitioning from a walker to a cane. I will soon be driving to physical therapy. Twelve years ago I had hip replacement surgery using the older approach where muscles are cut. The recovery was much more painful and long.
