Faye Kibler, DO

MEET

Faye Kibler, DO

Dr. Faye Kibler is a Physiatrist and leads the OrthoKnox Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Program. She became interested in Rehabilitation Medicine after observing patients in underserved communities going into surgical procedures without fully knowing the spectrum of treatments available to them. Moreover, she chose to subspecialize in Pain Medicine because she enjoyed "teaming up" with patients to pursue a goal together. She has also experienced first-hand how not understanding the cause of a pain or ache can really amplify it and be very worrisome. “This field is constantly growing and changing,” she says. “It's inspiring to help someone find where they can fit in and benefit.”

Excellent experience. Mike took great care of me and was very thorough helping me figure out a complicated problem. 10/10 would recommend.

Neil is patient, responds to all my questions, provides objective options and delivers compassionate care. Never once did I feel rushed or uninformed.

My physical therapist was knowledgeable and personable and made me feel at ease throughout the entire session. I appreciated the thorough explanation of the treatment plan and the clear instructions on how to continue the exercises at home. I highly recommend this physical therapist to anyone needing care.

OrthoKnox is an excellent place. I had total knee replacement 3 weeks ago, and I am recovering beautifully. All my friends and family cannot believe how far I’ve come in just 3 weeks. The staff is very kind, caring and take the time to ensure that all my concerns, fears and questions are resolved. Dr. Hovis and his PA, Neil Stoner, are the best.

— P.S.

Instantly felt at ease and reassured with my daughter’s care. Professional, informative and great bedside manner!

Everyone here has been amazing since first coming in through diagnosis, surgery, and now the recovery phase. Couldn't recommend these people enough.

All the doctors and staff at OrthoKnox including those in the physical therapy department, are very caring, and competent. I have been very satisfied with both the surgery outcome as well as the recovery. One nice thing is there is very little wait time after you arrive at your appointed time.

Delightful, helpful, encouraging, professional group. I am very grateful for their kindness.

Dr. Hovis has taken care of me the past 12 years. Started out with knee surgery and later in life with a shoulder that needed an injection. I would never go anywhere else because he is the best, and he cares. My last visit a couple of months ago was like seeing a family member again. You’re in good hands here.

— J.S.
