Dr. Hood is an excellent physician. I have been thrilled with how well I have recovered from the hip replacement he did. He listens and answers questions thoroughly. I would recommend him to anyone needing a hip replacement.

From beginning to end I only have positive words to say about Dr Mark Hood and his staff! Friendly, caring, compassionate and responsive are some descriptors of this excellent team. Dr Hood listens well, answers questions and is the first surgeon to call me the night before surgery to answer questions and discuss my health. I’ve had multiple joint surgeries and certainly know how much difference a superbly skilled surgeon and support team can make in one’s experiences. I’ve had a remarkable surgeon and an amazing team who gave me the best of care for this knee replacement surgery and I couldn’t be more pleased. I give them the highest recommendation! Thank you, Dr Hood, for your exceptional care! You’re my only choice for my other knee surgery!

Dr. Mark Hood is a wonderful doctor. He is very personable and very easy to talk to. Hes always willing to answer any questions. I came to Dr. Hood, needing a hip replacement and both knees as well. He is so knowledgeable. He was my second opinion and he told me things the first doctor never told me. He was concerned with my overall health. I knew he was the right doctor for me. Im very confident with him and God my surgery will be a success.
