She was terrific. Dr Ready is very personable and certainly knows what he's doing and saying. As my former surgeon has retired, I will use him to replace my hip. We discussed my concerns and he went through each one in a positive manner. I have confidence in him!

• It is my first experience with Dr. John Ready. I would say it was very positive. Everyone I dealt with was lovely, was responsive to any needs I had, and I felt that Dr. Ready listened to me. He did not, I did not feel rushed with him. He explained what he was seeing on the x-rays and what he thought about my situation. He understood that I am a total caretaker for my husband and was willing to allow me to go to physical therapy at a facility that is right near my home without giving me any problem. He was knowledgeable. He was responsive and I felt very professional. [redacted]

He is very well respected by everyone I talk with, an outstanding surgeon who already replaced my left hip and more importantly than all of that is he is a considerate and respectful person who truly cares for his patients and family members. Recommend him to anyone needing a knee or hip replacement. And he is not related to me.

  2025-08-27

• His trainee needs more time to present who she is and why she's arrived when he has not. Both need to explain more about the post injection experience and care needed. The primary reason for the referral did not get mentioned in the notes, and the follow-up MRI order was not issued.

  2025-08-27

• Yeah, Dr. Ready was superb, got great explanations. We understood them. However, he said he was going to take the MRI results and his diagnosis to the board. I would get a call the following Tuesday, which was yesterday. I have yet to receive a phone call from them.
