I have had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Uribe since I first saw him in 1991. I thank God that I was referred to him as "the doc to see." Love the fact that he is very honest & explains everything to you. What he thinks the problem is, possible solutions, walks you through chosen solution, follow up is excellent. He will explain anything you want to know. Always has the patients best interests in mind. He is an amazing surgeon & very creative when necessary. There are not enough words to describe his excellence. Despite 23 orthopedic surgeries he has kept me functioning & able to enjoy the sports & outdoor life I love. Simply the Best. (Only other point I have is you may get a few complaints from people who don't do their rehab. He is such a perfectionist that when he gives his all to help you he will let you know that you need to be an active participant in your rehab.) Thanks for all the people you have helped Dr.Uribe. You are special!
