I had a knee replacement from him 9 years ago and developed RSD. That wasn’t his fault but my knee was hot, burgundy color, swollen , incision oozing put and they did nothing . Said it was Normal. I need to have redone and never got good knee bend. I participated in therapy and did everything supposed to do. Now I need done again. Would never in my lifetime go back to this doctor. He treats patients like cattle, and I heard him brag he can do a knee replacement every 20 minutes. I will have to get done again . I had a Left replacement here in Florida and my Orthopedic Mark Rogers is the best. After 4.5 months I am dancing first time in 35 years. He also did my Lt shoulder rotator cuff . Lionberger needs to retire or have his medical license rescinded.

Dr. Lionberger is by far extraordinary an exceptional surgeon. He shows concern for his patients well-being and success before during and following surgery. The protocol he has design leads way to the best possible outcome. He performed a knee revision that turned out to be nothing short of a miracle. I am extremely happy with the outcome. Exceeded all of my expectations.Thanks for giving me back my Life!

Appointments always on time and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Dr Lionberger takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. He not only know his patients’ health history but also interested in my passions for life. Just love this group and their goal to get me back to my passions of life pain free.

Everything is handled beautifully in this office! x-ray person was friendly and efficient. Dr. Lionberger is outstanding in both his personality and his depth of medical knowledge. He is very clear! The person who talks to your about your plan for treatment and surgery makes you feel like you are going on a vacation not going to have surgery. A wonderful office!!

Dr. Lionberger is a excellent Orthopedic Dr! I had a knee replacement done in Lubbock that was put in crooked. And Dr. Lionberger has to do a revision on it. I highly recommend him! 5 Stars!

My first Hip Surgery in Dec 2015 was highly successful so I confidently scheduled the second surgery for Dec 2016. The comfort level was high and the staff professional and supportive. I am very pleased with the final result and all the surgical and supportive skills bestowed not only on me but undoubtedly all patients at this fine institution.

Dr. Lionberger was very informative. He answered all my questions and addressed each concern I had regarding hip replacement. He uses the latest technology and is very up to date on the newest medical procedures. His staff was very helpful and nice.

We appreciated Dr. Lionberger working us in between appointments when we unexpectedly needed to see him. As always, his staff was very courteous and efficient. Driving 2 1/2 hours away, we arrived early and we were able to have our questions answered very quickly. An early diagnosis unrelated to his knee replacement helped get my husband moving in the right direction Dr. Lionberger is the best!

From the very first consultation Dr. Lionberger and his staff have been extremelyfriendly and helpful. Extra time was taken to answer any and all questions. Procedures and guidelines were printed out in orderly fashion to insure success on my part. Hospital and surgery center took excellent care of me. Dr. Lionberger personally called to check on me the first week after surgery. Dr Lionberger and his staff have made a major surgery almost enjoyable. I would highly recommend Dr. Lionberger and his staff to anyone.

Excellent bedside manner; very honest with his assessment and kept things light and funny. I feel he could have suggested a procedure but instead recommended some non-invasive techniques.

From the very first visit to Dr. Lionberger we were impressed! Everyone was very nice and helpful. During and after my husband had both knees being replaced a week apart Dr. Lionberger and staff were available for any questions or concerns. Couldnt have asked for a better doctor or staff!

If I could give Negative stars I would. I read the reviews and wonder where THAT doctor was, he certainly was not the Dr. I saw. I went in with left hip pain so severe, I made an appointment 3 weeks before my insurance took effect and paid out of pocket for my exam. It was a total waste of money. After xrays, Dr. Lionberger told me I did not have any arthritis or bone spurs in my hip, I just had bursitis and I didn’t need anything except to off load weight from my hip and then he prescribed some $3000 drug. After another month of extreme pain and eating enough NSAIDs to damage my liver, I made an appointment with Dr. Terry Clyburn who ran more xrays and informed me that he didn’t know what xrays Dr. Lionberger read but then showed me that my medial aspect of my hip joint was bone on bone and I had 3 bone spurs. He agreed that total hip replacement was indicated but Dr. Clyburn did not preform the anterior procedure so he had his colleague Dr. Kwan Park evaluate me right then and I have anterior hip replacement scheduled in two days. However the delay in proper diagnosis and treatment has caused me unbearable pain and liver damage that could have been avoided with a proper diagnosis by Dr. Lionberger.

I like Dr Lionberger and he operated on me before. But, I felt rushed at the appointment with him and all my questions were NOT answered. I hope to have the opportunity to ask more questions.Thanks

I had 7 day staged bi-lateral knee replacements on 10/23/18 & 10/30/18. I was pedaling a bicycle @ 15 days post-op from the second knee...yes pedaling a bicycle with full rotation! I cannot say enough about the quality and professionalism that Dr. Lionberger and his ENTIRE team have demonstrated. Even my PT group was impressed with his post-op protocols.Knee replacement isnt a walk in the park.Recovery is challenging and as a patient you HAVE TO DO THE WORK before and after to get results. Nothing of value is ever really free though right?Yes I put in the rest and exercise he prescribed and stuck to his plan but picking the right surgical team was the biggest factor of my recovery.There are so many options for this type of surgery in the Houston area but this team was absolutely the best choice for me.SHORT VERSION: This is a team of A-listers and you should at least add them to your short list.

Thanks! Elizabeth Taylor.

Dr. Lionburger and Sarah are top notch professionals! They know exactly what theyre doing and know what theyre talking about. Theyre willing to answer all questions you have. Thanks to their professional service and abilities to discern what your problem / condition is, and their recommendation to select physical therapy and the therapist too, I have my life and mobility back to normal. Rest assured, you will have a great experience here. Their office is also very friendly and professional. I think it is seldom if anyone has a bad experience here. They even have an online patient portal so you can message either Dr. Lionburger or Sarah if you have questions! It is really convenient. You wont be disappointed, this is in short, friendly, thorough, and professional orthopedic care!

Review №24

I believe its all been said in the other reviews, however, I had to add my two cents worth. I came to Dr. Lionberger for a second opinion. What a Godsend that recommendation was. The entire experience is top notch, and as so many have noted, Dr. Lionberger is not only off-the-chart smart, he is personable as well. Everyone (front desk, x-ray tech, Sarah) are very helpful. I only wish he had done my left hip replacement, as well as the knee surgeries Ive had. He will do the right one (making them the same length), and with his approach of strengthening the surrounding area, my recovery will be that much better. Not only do I believe him to be a great doctor, but Id have him as a friend to hang out with!

After my husband, PATRICK LEBOUEF, received a total knee replacement on November 5, 2018, I applaud Dr. Lionberger and his staff for a job well done! With the pre-op and post-op therapy, he has had a successful recovery. He is walking with a full gait and 99 percent pain free! Patrick LeBouef Winnie, Texas

Dr. Lionberger is an exceptional doctor and he has given me my life back! I am 25 years old and was diagnosed with stage 4 AVN in both hips due to prednisone. I could hardly walk and preform daily tasks from the excruciating pain I was in. Dr. Lionberger took a chance on me when other doctors couldn’t see beyond my age. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly and kept in contact before, during and after surgery. It has now been 3 months post surgery and I am pain free and can keep up with my crawling 8 month old.Dr. Lionberger is the very best and I couldn’t have asked for a better team!

We were seen a few weeks ago when I had complications on my rib fractures from a near fall. I was able to get an appointment very quickly. Dr. Lionberger ordered bone density which was done within 24 hours. My last visit w/Sarah is to get results and to get an action plan for my bone mass.

My daughter has suffered a year and a half with horrible knee pain, and limping around. Could not walk in a shopping mall without pain, get out of the car without pain, go up steps without pain, etc. etc. She and I both sent to see Dr. Lionberger, because I too, have the same problem with one of my knees, just not as severe as hers. Dr. Lionberger did her surgery on Dec. 12th, knee replacement, and I cannot believe how WONDERFUL she is doing. She has had very little pain, walking great with a walker (not quite 1 wk. post op) and has completed her first week at physical therapy. FIVE STARS FOR DR. LIONBERGER!! He is not only an extraordinary physican and surgeon, but a deeply CARING PERSON. He is concerned from the beginning about ALL his patients, and always has the time to answer your calls and concerns. You dont find many doctors who will take the time to talk to patients anymore, sadly to say. You will never be disappointed with him, and his office staff is AWESOME!!

I called and was able to get an appointment very soon. Dr. Lionbergers staff was professional, courteous and very welcoming, The process ran smoothly from check in very welcoming. The process ran smoothly from check in through xray to getting into a room, and Dr. have to wait a bit once I was in the room, and Dr. Lionberger acknowledged that with understandable explanation Dr Lionberger was thorough in explaining the xray results and forward process. Very good experience.

I received from Dr David R Lionberger in the years of 2003 and 2006 an effective Orthepedic surgical treatment fo the pain and age degeneration of both knee joints. I have enjoyed a very comfortable ambulation for 12 years. A recent X-ray of both knees on 8/6/2015 revealed a healthy replacement of both knee joints I do not hesitate to recommend Dr.Lionberger.
