Orthopedic Surgery
What’s the highest praise you can give an orthopedic
surgeon? That he is “the best of the
That you “would not go anyplace else?” Or that
he is a “fantastic surgeon” and “top notch?”
All of these are quotes from pleased patient
testimonials about Dr. Samuel Messieh of
Winter Haven. But the most apt description
brings a chuckle because it is so appropriate:
“He’s the bees knees — pun intended.” A term
from the 1920s, “the bees’ knees” means the
ultimate, unsurpassed, acknowledged best. If
you or someone in your family is considering
hip or knee replacement surgery, what better
description could you want for your surgeon?
Of course it is comforting to hear positive
testimonials from patients, but actual metrics
from Baycare and Medicare provide concrete
Messieh is one of the foremost knee and hip
surgeons in Florida with some of the lowest
complication rates around. He is quite literally
“the best of the best” and “top notch.”
