Dr. Bales successfully repaired a torn meniscus in my knee 9 weeks ago. Prior to surgery he explained things very well and took time to listen and answer any questions I had. He scheduled numerous follow-up visits after surgery to make sure my recovery was going well. Office wait times have been extremely minimal and his staff is professional and courteous. I hope to never require the services of an orthopedic surgeon again, but if I do it will certainly be Dr. Bales.
