“I was having pain and experiencing increasing difficulty walking. After a consultation with Dr. Gesell, I was found to have severe arthritis in both hips. I had my right hip replaced on March 12, 2013 and my left hip on April 30. Both surgeries went very well, and I was back to work by June 3. Dr. Gesell is an excellent surgeon, and I would recommend this practice to anyone.”

Both surgeries enabled me to be pain-free, with increased flexibility and mobility; not previously present. Any trained surgeon can do a good job; you however are an extremely articulate & skilled surgeon which has made all the different in my surgical outcome. I thank you for your superior dedication, skills and knowledge of all the intricate complexities of this type of surgery. You are a hero in the orthopaedic field, making a difference in the lives of many people. ”

Treating Doctor:“My sister referred Dr. Plyler as an excellent doctor with great bedside manners. I came to the office for my right shoulder. He ordered an MRI, which showed no surgery was necessary, but he administered a cortisone shot for pain and some therapy. Dr. Plyler gets five stars, hands down.”
