"I was treated in the ER, on a Monday, for a patellar fracture. On Wednesday, the same week, I had an appt at Dr. Sweet II office. The next day he did surgery. I was very impressed and will recommend him to other people."

"Dr. Sweet II, Dr Compton, Katie and their staff are kind, caring and supportive. They have treated me with nothing less than the best care. They have helped me find myself again after suddenly losing my mobility and everything that goes along with it. After my first and second surgery, Dr. Sweet came out and sat with my underage, nervous, daughter and was so kind and caring as he told her that everything went well. He still asks about her during visits and she asks about him after I arrive home. He really made an impression on her and that, to me makes him the best."
