The best of the best
Excellent
Dr. Mautner is the goat!! I wasted time and money prior to becoming one of his patients. Grateful! That best describes my experience.
Great Experience
Dr. Mauntner seemed to be in a hurry, and lacked consideration for my questions and concerns as an individual patient. I believe he had reviewed my images, but he was not engaged with me beyond giving me pamphlets to read and telling me that he had done PRP injections many times.PRP injections are a new consideration for me with both of my thumbs, and I had questions about the procedure and the potential outcomes. I do not feel that my questions were adequately addressed, or that appropriate time was allocated for my visit. My visit was a new patient consultation for a new procedure option that should involve more than a cursory response to limited questions and the provision of reading materials by Dr. Mauntner.
Dr Mautner is the best!
I would mention to whomever I referred Dr. Mauntner that the waiting time to get in to see him is excessive.
Dr. Mautner is great, I've seen him off and on for about 4 years now. Always friendly, personal and professional, great "bedside manner" in the exam room. Always explains things well and explains things well and is happy to answer questions and joint decision making. I've referred a few people to him and they have all been very happy.
Dr Mautner is amazing. I've been to see him several times. My husband has also seen him and we've always referred patients directly to him.
Very good experience
Dr. Kenneth Mautner is THE VERY BEST Sports Medicine Orthopedist in my opinion at Emory Sports Medicine and I am so glad that he is my MD and oversees me care with genuine concern for me as I mature at (77) years old after being his patient since I was (66) years old. I could not be in better hands when it comes to a Sports Medicine Orthopedist who is at the top of his game.
Great experience
Dr. Mautner explained the procedure and his desired outcome.
He was a little hurried
Great doctor.
My experience with Dr. Mautner has been very good on each visit.

Could not have asked for a better experience, only a better hip!
Dr. Mautner was excellent. Highly recommend him.
Doctor Maultner was personal, knowledgeable and professional!
The visit was rushed as in and out in 10 minutes. Didn't have time to answer all my questions. Stood up and had his hand on door knob.
Dr. Mautner and his associates are knowledgeable, professional, and skilled. You can tell he has a background in PM&R!
Fantastic experience and all of my questions and concerns were addressed. Clear recommendations and course of action were provided, while also taking my preferences and goals into account.

I constantly recommend Dr. Ken Mautner to everyone I encounterespecially multiple people in my SR water aerobics PT classes @ Mercer University Fitness Center in Doraville.
Great visit - great service
Saw both Dr. Mautner which was good and his fellow Dr. Geffe who was excellent
I was hoping for an injection of Gel One. However, I was told insurance will only pay for Gel One injection for the knee, not the ankle. I was not aware of this. Dr. Mautner discussed a steroid injection but advised me of possible downsides to steroid injections. I was aware of the downside and really did not want that. Dr. Mautner then discussed PSP injection. He said I am a candidate for that.
I had the worse experience with the main doctor the attending. The residents were great, but I will not use or recommend him to anyone ever again!
Well done.
Highly recommend dr maunter
I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Mautner. He was incredibly caring and extremely knowledgeable. His bedside manner was excellent-he took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made me feel at ease even though I was in a lot of pain. He immediately understood what was wrong and handled the situation with skill and confidence. Thanks to him, the issue was resolved quickly and effectively, and I haven't had any problems since. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate and competent physician.

Dr Mautner is a great Dr and runs a great operation
I have recommended this Dr to many people
I was nervous going into the visit because I am a dancer and have different injuries than many other athletes, but I immediately felt better when I saw a signed photo from a professional dancer. Dr. Mautner was extremely knowledgable about the hip problems dancers face, and the dance PTs in the area. He gave me scripts so I could see my dance PT to develop an overall plan, but then also to see the Emory PT staff afterwards to save on out of network costs. I would highly recommend him to any active person!
Very good listener, explained everything thoroughly
Over the years he has been consistently very good

Dr. Mautner was awesome!
Very kind and attentive doctor. Was very honest about outcome expectations which is much appreciated. Forward-thinking and effective treatment approach which doesn't harm patient (no negative side effects). Ever grateful that the doctor considered injecting a not normally injected area: pain which lasted years in the area stopped.
Doctor is excellent but Stem cell and PRP injection are not showing any positive results.
The team took their time with me and made sure I left with answers. I cannot express how impressed I was with this care team. They listened to me, diagnosed me, and assisted with next steps. I felt important for the first time in dealing with this issue. I am so grateful to have found this office.

Dr Mauntner and Dr Hammond and two of the best we have ever worked with.
Dr Mautner is the most qualified and has exceptional experience - I trust his treatment options and he has helped me relieve pain and improve performance.
The instructions for what I could or could not not clearly explained. The doctor had a que of other patients and had to rush off.
This was my first visit with Dr. Mautner so it's hard to make a recommendation on 15 minutes in a video call. Will feel more comfortable after the next few visits/follow up.
Attentive and very thorough examination! Very kind doctor
