When I met with Dr Hood I had TKR scheduled 8/2/2022 with another surgeon. I wasn’t confident that I NEEDED TKR. DR Hood confirmed I would benefit from non invasive pain management and in his mind felt my arthritis was not severe. We made a plan to manage my pain- no narcotics. He is a confident surgeon, professional and makes decisions based on the patient’s well being, not $. I told him I was a praying woman and had prayed for the right answers. God led me to Dr Hood. He is now my Doctor.
