What Our Patients Are Saying

Barry D.


Dr. Biles is an outstanding surgeon. I recently had my knee replaced and it was much easier than I had imagined. I have never had a doctor who was so “in tune” with his patients. He spent a great deal of personal time with me and was always very available. If I could give a rating of 10, that is what I would give Dr. Biles. He has an outstanding staff as well.

Calvin E.

June B.


He’s done 2 surgeries on my husband’s knees. He tore his meniscus on both knees within a little over a month. Dr. Biles is awesome. He explained what the problem was and how he would repair it. After surgery, he explained what they had to do, everything they saw, and everything they had to repair. Dr. Biles was very thorough and did an awesome job.
