Wonderful. Knee replacement. Excellent results. Highly recommended

He was excellent. He didn't just see me for the first appointment. He kept in contact with me throughout.

Dr. Slater is a conservative physician who pays close attention to everything related to your surgery, injury, follow-up care. He does not adhere to the timed appt that many physicians do. He listens, he problem solves with you, and he genuinely cares about you as a total patient, not just the joint he has replaced. I recommend Dr. Slater to everyone I know that would need his kind of service. Best Physician I have received care from in all of my lifetime. If I could give more that 5 stars I would. The wait time is long, but worth it.
