Thomas R. Knutson's Online Review Report Card

I was referred to Dr. Knutson by three different happy post surgery patients so I went in knowing he had a good referral base. He did not disappoint as did not the whole team involved in the process from start to finish...from the office staff to the surgery staff. He is clearly respected and well liked by his fellow workers since he was patient with my questions, thorough with his answers and seemed to honestly care. The surgery went very well with only a very small scar left.

Amazing surgeon for knee replacement. Second knee replacement for my husband. 1st surgery by another surgeon who was good but recovery from Dr. Knutson surgery far less painful and quick return to activity. Highly recommend

Dr Knutson is awesome! He and his staff are fantastic and very responsive! Both preoperative and postoperative care is very good. Had total knee replacement surgery with excellent results and minimal pain. I highly recommend Dr Knutson and Palomar Healthcare!

Dr. Knutson comforted me each visit I had with him. He performed total hip replacement on me and I thank him so much for such stellar work!!

I liked Dr. K’s no nonsense explanations and bedside manner! His eye contact helped me concentrate, relax and greatly helped me to truly commit myself to the processes ahead. The tone of his voice is pleasing and confident! The online guidance, various phone consults, etc. kept me committed and not forgotten.

Procedure went through so smoothly

When I went for my initial consultation, I was impressed right away with the fact the the entire staff at the front desk greeted me when I walked through the door with a big "Good Morning!". I wasn't even waiting 5 minutes in the lobby before I was ushered into the back by another very friendly and welcoming staff member who explained what all was going to happen during this visit. The x-ray technician and others I interacted with were equally engaging and explained in detail what they were doing and why. I was most impressed with Dr. Knutson and the fact that he felt he could help me when other orthopedic surgeons said they could not. I felt an immediate trust and faith in him and his knowledge, experience and ability. Dr. Knutson performed total knee replacements on both of my knees and the results so far are very good. Friends and clinicians alike are impressed with what they see and I am glad that I made the decision to select Dr. Knutson.Sus

My wife worked as a home health PT and saw how well Dr. Knudson's patients recovered from surgery and as a result had him do one of my hips. I made the mistake of going to a teaching hospital with robotics for a knee replacement based on reports from a friend. I didn't make the same mistake with the 2nd knee, which allowed me to see the difference a surgeon can make. I have not met a patient of Dr. Knudson's or Physical Therapist who has treated them say anything but very, very positive things about his outcomes. But just as important to me, Dr. Knudson is as humble and kind a person you could ever meet. He could be in any elite orthopedic office or associated with any prestigious hospital he chose, but I'm so glad he's content where he is. You can't find anyone better.

Dr. Knutson is the best, but I knew that before I even met him. I have several friends that also had their knees replaced by him and they all gave me glowing reviews of him. Dr. Knutson is a great surgeon and I guarantee that he will be doing my other knee if it ever comes to that.

Great reputation
