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.

Hip Replacement
Dr Grady- Benson and his associates as well as the Care Team were all outstanding. Everyone from preop to my discharge was caring, dedicated and very well informed. I couldn’t be any happier with my new hip , it is absolutely life changing!

I would whole heartedly recommend Dr. Grady-Benson
I had hip replacement surgery. Dr. Grady-Benson has a wonderful reputation and he exceeded my expectations. He and and his staff provided complete information for a positive surgical experience including medicines, diet, preoperative exercises, home care, and post-operative exercises. I especially appreciated his sharing his concerns regarding my surgery and recovery. He and his staff provided the right amount of information at the right time.

Excellent surgeon, outstanding patient care
Before, during and after hip replacement surgery, Dr. Grady-Benson provided me with all the information I needed to be comfortable and prepared. His positive, friendly and approachable manner was much appreciated. Everyone knows he is a very skilled surgeon. What sets him apart is the way he treats his patients with respect, compassion and good humor. Absolutely the best.

Dr John Grady-Benson is the BEST.
My brother had his knee done 7 years ago by Dr Grady-Benson and recommended him for my hip replacement. He has the perfect bedside manner, going over the process from start to finish and making sure all your questions and concerns are addressed. My hip replacement was a great success! I had pain just sitting in a chair or laying in bed, and now I'm pain free, and that's great for someone 73 yrs old. If you need hip or knee he's the doctor to get.

I had a great experience
Dr. Grady-Benson asked about me and what I was looking for to resolve my left knee pain. He explained it in mechanical terms which I use every day. We went over options and total knee replacement made sense. His staff is top notch along with the staff from the bone and joint institute.

Best of the Best
Dr. Grady-Benson was quick to determine my problem and formulated an action plan to return me to my normal self. He explained the process to me and played out a time line for a typical recovery. His staff and online recovery exercise videos make a huge difference in my recovery. He is the go-to guy for hip replacement.

Knowledge, procedures, office staff, assistant Mike Cremmins, and Dr. Grady's surgical prowess are all five star plus. After two total knees replacements and fractured femur by one of his appointees (Dr. Chris MacCarthy) he is still five plus stars.

Top Notch Professional
Dr. Grady-Benson replaced both of my knees within exactly a year of one another. He was exceptionally kind, professional, knowledgeable and supportive. He took the time to thoroughly explain the surgery, what to expect post-op, to talk to my wife and to call to check up on me once I went home. The use of Force Therapeutics to guide exercises and progress was very helpful. I am quite confident in saying that there is no one better than Dr. Grady-Benson.

Very likely ……. No hesitation in doing so!
Had a hip and knee replacement, both done within a year plus a day. If another replacement needed, I would agree only if by Dr G-B. And he has the best office staff possible ……. a great team to be a patient of.
