Nobody wants to have a hip replacement but Dr Crofford and everyone working for him made the process not only smooth but showed care, concern and compassion over everything I was going through. Everyone was available to talk and take time to answer questions. I don't think this experience could have gone better and it was because of the people who I was involved with. The culture within the practice is very different than most. Exceptional people, exceptional care, and Dr Crofford is an awesome surgeon! I will be recommending Texas Knee and Hip to everyone I meet who needs knee and/or hip replacement surgery.Sep 2025Well run practice with a smooth and comfortable process that feels very human.Sep 2025Doctor Crofford and his staff have been very personable and engaged in my entire journey with them. I've been pleasantly surprised at their level of professionalism as well as being involved on a human level, unlike other experiences elsewhere where you feel like a number or ignorant throughout the process. I've been thoroughly impressed and would absolutely refer others with confidence that they would be put at ease and taken care of equally as well as I have been. I have much gratitude for Doctor Crofford and his team. Keep up the great work!Sep 2025I have had great response back to normal activity.Sep 2025Very satisfying visit. Dr. Crofford did a great job with my surgerySep 2025Really efficient practice. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting area and the staff has always been great.Sep 2025Very professional, an outstanding providerSep 2025Everything perfectSep 2025Very willing to discuss all options with me. Treated me as an equal in the decision making processSep 2025Staff is good. Dr wasn't invested in my care and concerns as he has been before.Sep 2025Dr Crofford did not discuss issues. I felt like he was not answering questions, discussing treatment and acknowledging my concerns. Much worse than other visits I have had. Won't be using him again and I have had 3 surgeries with him.Sep 2025Dr Crofford is very friendly and professional, make you feel comfortable and seems to be very knowledgeable and confident in his ability. He has been a great surgeon to work with and all the staff as well, […] his nurse, […] his assistant and […] his other assistant. All the personnel and staff members there have been great. I lived in Wisconsin and had 2 others surgeons that told me I was high risk and that I could die if I had this surgery because of my history with blood clots and heart condition and other health problems so I put off a much needed surgery. But Dr Crofford was very confident and made me comfortable enough to go forward and have total knee replacement done on both knees. I am glad I came to see him to get this done it will give me my life back. The first surgery went very good and I will be having the second done in 9 days which is about 5 1/2 weeks after the first one.Aug 2025Dr Ted Crofford is everything one wants in a doctor such as humility, excellence, experience , expertise and true compassion for his patientsAug 2025Great care and loving environment!Aug 2025I was impressed by all I encountered during my procedure!Aug 2025The staff was very professional, returned my calls and answered my questions.Aug 2025Dr. Crofford is awesome.
