James Bookout's Online Review Report Card

Excellent! I had Total Hip Replacement on the right 12 years ago, and Total Hip Replacement on the left 10 years ago. My mobility is very good and i have never had a problem with either surgery from the day of surgery going forward.

I would not recommend…. My daughter was referred to the office after visiting the Beaumont Urgent care at Hall and Tilch. The x-ray showed a fractured fibula. Dr Bookout assured me that there was no fracture and put my daughter in a boot for a sprain. I didn’t feel confident in this diagnosis so we got a second opinion. Her fibula was definitely fractured. Not only did the second Dr show me the initial X-ray but he took another at his office, unlike Dr Bookout. For an Orthopedic Surgeon to miss a fracture on an X-ray is quite concerning. I had to give one star to submit the review or he would get zero stars!! Also, in calling the office to speak about our experience, several messages and no call back.

I need hip replacement surgery and had been seeing Dr. Bookout for over a year. When I grew tired of the injections and opted to have the surgery instead, Dr. Bookout weight shamed me. Up to this point, my weight had never been a problem but since I chose not to be a cash cow and continue the office visits and injections, it was an problem. A study by the Harvard Medical School via Harvard Health Publishing, Robert H. Shmerling, MD states that this should not be a factor. Bad form, Dr. Bookout. Bad form.

I need a hip replacement but Dr. Bookout wanted me to keep having the injections until they no longer worked and then said we would discuss the surgery. I chose not to do this and requested the surgery and was told, after being his patient for over a year, that I would need to loss 40 pounds before he would even consider it. Now, at no time had my weight ever been discussed but now that I don't want to continue being a "cash cow," it was a problem. A study published in the Harvard Health Publishing by Robert H. Shmerling, MD disputes this. Bad form, Dr. Bookout. Bad form.

DR BOOKOUT WAS GREAT! HE SPENT ALOT OF TIME WITH ME AND WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS. UNLIKE MOST DRS TODAY, DR BOOKOUT ADDRESSED MY PAIN IN MY FRACTURED KNEE AND MADE SURE I WAS COMFORTABLE.

Very efficient office, professional staff... Dr Bookout was patient with answering all my questions and concerns.

After seeing Dr. Bookout annually for the past 11 years from a very successful hip replacement I finally talked my wife into seeing him with constant hip pain. Nervous and afraid of having a hip replacement she left his office relieved and now pain free. He diagnosed her with bursitis and that her hips where perfect. He gave her a cortisone injection and explained to her on exercises that would help. The wait was short the staff was OUTSTANDING and Dr. Bookout was GREAT and very professional. Two days later my wife is PAIN FREE and very happy that she now has a new doctor --- Thanks again Dr. Bookout

I had shoulder surgery in January and I'm doing great. I just finished a golf weekend up north and played 36 holes a day with no trouble. Great staff as well, including the PT department that I found to be friendly and professional.

Dr.Bookout and the entire staff were very nice!
