Dr. Kneer is very good at explaining the diagnosis and options available to treat the symptoms as well as remedies for further treatments (especially, if surgical solutions are deemed necessary).
One of Emory's most outstanding doctors by far!
Dr. Kneer is excellent.
I received 3 X-rays before being seen by physicians. To my knowledge the X-rays were not reviewed by the doctor. They seemed unnecessary given my issue and an expense that may not be covered by insurance and I may incur that expense personally.

Best Doc I've ever had
10 stars! I'm pretty sure you get all five star views of Dr. Kneer. I was referred to him by my wife, a recently referred my mother-in-law to see him about her knee. Dr.Kneer is thoughtful in his approach and doesn't talk about surgery as a first option. I've had the fortune of getting injections and fluid drawn from many places, but there is no one more skilled than he is at it. Dr.Kneer also breaks down in simplistic terms what he sees, he shares the x-rays with you and talks through them and at the end, you're given a sense of comfort and confidence about the path to getting better. I like his common sense, no nonsense approach to helping. I feel blessed to be a patient of his, although I'd like not to see him because I don't need him. Since that has not been the case and I do need him, I'm thankful he's my Doc.
Dr Kneer is a great doctor with great bedside manners.
Dr. Kneer is a rockstar. His level of professionalism in helping his residents learn not just about procedures but how to interact with patients is superb.

I'm very happy with Dr. Kneer. Would highly recommend him.
I was a new patient and felt Dr Kneer was so helpful. He put me at ease, explained my condition, and the various possible treatments..
Lee Kneer is great! He's an athlete and so understands the concerns of active people. I also liked his in-depth explanation of the problem. He almost seemed a little too confident of the diagnosis, which makes me want to get a second opinion because sometimes I worry that confidence blinds us to alternative explanations. However, since he didn't recommend any medical or surgical intervention, only some PT lessons, it seems pretty benign to try that route first and then seek a second opinion if it doesn't result in improvements.
Dr. Kneer and his staff are fantastic!!
Great experience
I have seen Dr. Kneer numerous times and it is always a great experience.

A very pleasant experience
Recommended so many times that new patients are arriving at your office. There may be a stampede of people who are realizing that knee replacement is not the only option and probably not the best. They follow me around the YMCA and ask how I am able to work out without having surgical procedures. Kneer is knee spelled with the r. A few have found pen and paper to write his name and number down. Wellstar Orthoped be usurped.
I was so appreciative of his kind ways and knowledge!
I specifically requested to see Dr. Kneer since my wife was impressed by him when she saw him a couple of years ago. I was also pleased by his care.
Dr. Kneer is amazing
Dr Kneer is fantastic!!
Dr. Kneer is absolutely the best ortho doc!! His demeanor is so pleasant, he makes everything easy to understand, and is very gentle with a 2" needle!! I tell everyone I know if they ever need an ortho doc, Dr. Kneer is their guy!
Dr. Kneer took the time to thoroughly review options for a multitude of treatments and the prospective possible outcome for each helping me determine the next best step, then after the MRI, visually walked me through each of the concerns raised in the MRI. He could not have been more thorough and caring.
The doctor spent very, very little time explaining treatment options. As I understand it, there are about 3 options: physical therapy (although I already was in that), surgery, a steroid shot. I'd like to know how long it takes for the steroid shot to take effect and about what percentage of the time does the steroid shot remove pain.
Dr. Kneer shared information in lay terms, and answered all my questions. I very much enjoyed meeting him and my visit overall.
I explained that I came to get my knees aspirated, and he explained that it's not always a necessity to do that. The more we talked and I said that my left knee had been giving out, he said that was an indication of aspiration being helpful, so we decided to do just that knee. I appreciated that he wanted me to understand why and when to do that procedure, and he involved me in the decision.
Dr. Kneer is excellent. He listens to my concerns and then thoroughly explains the causes and possible solutions. I feel involved in any decision and know he does everything he can to enable me to be as active as possible.
Dr Kneer was outstanding in his explanation of options for my knee pain and performed a painless knee injection of gel and removal of fluid on my knee.

Best doctor we have been to. He knew his stuff and showed empathy. Explained the technical situation of the injury in plain English and was clear on next steps and PT examples for use at home. An all-Around amazing doctor!
This was my second visit with Dr. Kneer. During my first visit he gave me an injection in my hip, that lowered the pain. It wore off in about a week as he told me it would, and that a second injection was possible. He completed that portion of the visit. I was also doing a series of exercises that I got off the internet. He prescribed PT at Emory and I have make that appointment.
Dr Kneer and Dr Alexander provided excellent care.
Dr Kneer is a outstanding doctor. This was my third visit to his office . He recommended a treatment plan during my first visit but during that time I was relunctant and chose to explore other routes e.g. PT and a consult with a surgeon before arriving at the decision he had recommended. Inspite of that, he treated me with the same concern and respect as he had in my initial visit! He is great at what he does and he does it with compassion and humor! He is a blessing in my life!
