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.

I do not recommend this doctor and staff
I had health insurance I paid $5 copay at the time of visit. This doctor office failed to billed insurance in year 2020. 3 years later they decided to bill me $755.00. I do not responsible for this amount. This doctor and staff need to take responsibility for their own fault!!!

Do Not Recommend - Made Issues Worse
After waiting at almost every appointment for over an hour, Dr. Jove ignored my issues/pain and rushed me out of his office. He did not my answer my questions, did not tell me the cause of my pain, or explain what he said was going on. He finally referred me to an MRI facility after 3 months, which he then said the MRI reading showing multiple issues/tears was "just wrong and they read them wrong all the time" (he sent me to this facility). Ended up getting a second opinion and needing surgery, and his mistreatment likely added to the issues and pain - it also added 3 additional months to my healing process. Would not recommend this practice.

Broken wrist & two new hips
Dr Jove first took care of my broken wrist. He personally (not a tech or nurse) put on the cast material. That really. impressed this old lady. He was very caring and respectful; fast and moves at a quick pace but always willing to answer my questions and explain things on my level. Since then, Dr Jove has replaced both my hips, two years apart, only when the arthritis pain was too much and after trying PT and steroid shots.

Dr. Nathan Jové fixed my broken leg last year and then just did a second surgery to remove the plate in my leg and everything went so well. He is funny and a great surgeon. I would highly recommend.

I went to go see Dr. Jove at the Snellville location. I really liked Dr Nathan Jove at first. Then he rushed me thru my appointment, didn't listen to what was bothering me. I feel like I am nothing more to them than a cash cow that they can milk as they please. Stay away!

Dr. Jove did a hip replacement on me after I had 3 dislocations from a Piedmont doctor who is supposedly really good. Dr. Jove did it from the anterior approach because the other doctor had done posterior. 3 years later, I am happy, no more dislocations and no more pain. Thank you Dr I hope this review helps you and any other person who had hip dislocations like me.

Best doctor ever. I had a torn rotator cuff which Dr. Jove fixed. I feel SO much better. He told me what to expect, he told me how painful it would be and honestly- he was able to manage my expectations so I knew what was coming. I met all my milestones we discussed and am doing great. I couldn't be happier. He is so compassionate and caring, he took time aside when I needed it. This guy is an all around super star and I recommend EVERYONE I can to him. He's busy in the office, but I can confirm first hand that it is reassuring that he is always busy because he is in such high demand!

One of best docs in Atlanta. Easy to talk. Have been to the big factory groups- resurgens, orthoatlanta, peachtree orthopedics. They have assistants that see you and treat patients like cattle. When selecting my knee replacement surgeon I chose Dr. Jove because he actually talked to me. The other groups are just not as personable. Even with the busiest waiting room I've ever seen, he still sat down and talked to me as long as I needed about goals and expectations. Great guy!!!

Dr Jove fixed my rotator cuff arthroscopically after someone else had done an open repair that failed. My incisions are small, and he fixed what the other doctor couldn’t do with open. Highly recommend him

After visit 3 different orthopedist in one week Dr. Jove found my problem in 10 minutes. I feel like if I wont the lotto with him. He order an X-RY in my hip and diagnosed that my pain 24/7 comes from my hip not from my knee. Now I am waiting for my hip replacement and thinking if the ACL arthroscopy performed by previous orthopedist where innecesary and instead of caused damage to my knee?. Definitive Dr. Jove is exceptionally knowledgeable he is compassionate, very kind. I absolutely recomend
