  • Dr. Gholson is an exceptionally skilled and compassionate surgeon whom I have trusted for both hip and knee replacements. After researching to find a high-volume surgeon, I chose Dr. Gholson because of his vast experience—having performed thousands of successful joint replacements—and his reputation as a top local surgeon who handles complex revision surgeries. He has helped me understand the overwhelming amount of information online regarding implant designs, material allergies, the pros and cons of robotic surgery, etc. He backed every recommendation with data from current studies and explained how it applied specifically to my case. He also showed genuine concern for my recovery; he called my husband immediately following my surgery and personally checked in on me a few days after surgery to ensure I was healing well. My hip recovery was incredibly smooth with no numbness, and when my knee osteoarthritis became unbearable, there was no one else I would have trusted more. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and attentive orthopedic surgeon.

  • Dr. Gholson came highly recommended by several medical professionals who are my husband’s colleagues. They work almost daily in surgeries together and have firsthand knowledge of proper procedures and professionalism. For over 20 years, I had been in tremendous pain when I walked or stood up from a sitting position. I met with Dr. Gholson in an exam room where he studied all x-rays and data relating to my case which clearly showed both hip joints were degraded to nearly bone-on-bone condition. Dr. Gholson confirmed that my hip joints were worn so badly that they both needed replacement. Dr. Gholson scheduled two separate surgeries, 3 mos apart, one for each hip. I am now 10 mos after the first hip replacement and 7 mos after the second hip replacement. It was as if Dr. Gholson performed a miracle! I am now able to take an enjoyable hour-long walk daily. My goal is to resume hiking soon. I’m extremely grateful for Dr. Gholson who has completely changed and improved my quality of life.

  • Dr. Gholson was absolutely fabulous. He listened to me, and answered all my questions. He has a spectacular bedside manner. He did my surgery and it’s just been phenomenal.

  • Dr. Gholson provides such a clear explanation of your case and what to expect and what are the best treatment options and approach for each individual. Whether a new hip or new knees, we highly recommend Dr. Gholson and are beyond grateful for his expertise. Every visit was an absolute pleasure from the first consult through surgery and follow-up visits providing excellent care with excellent results.

  • I had a fantastic partial knee replacement experience with Dr. Gholson. I healed quickly and was able to walk my dog across the street by day 6. By day 18, I was walking 4,676 steps! I’m absolutely over the moon with the results. The wound looks beautiful. Healed quickly! He has the BEST team! They’re receptive and very responsive.

  • Kind, good listener and excellent surgeon, Dr Gholson did a great job on my husband’s very “obliterated “ knee. He performed a knee replacement having to use an old incision site, and had to be a creative thinker. He pulled it off well and my husband’s knee is very functional now.
