My left hip was full of arthritis, it was literally bone on bone! When I met Dr. Rockett he was so kind and reassuring that he could replace my hip and relieve me of at least 90% of the pain. I was so BLESSED to have him as my surgeon. He relieved me of 100% of the pain! I LOVE THIS DOCTOR!! Whenever I mention his name, I always get the same response, "He is the BEST!" His facility in Natick is state of the art, very clean and run like a tight ship. I didn't have to go into Boston to receive this exceptional care! I recommend him HIGHLY!!

I had a knee scoping to remove broken cartilage as Dr.Rockett had assessed that I had an 80% chance of success being 73 and highly active. His professional approach gave me a sense of competency and trust in his skill. Everything went smoothly every step of the way. The office staff was informative and very courteous. The surgical staff was amazing, attentive and explained everything as it was happening. My recuperation went flawlessly and I recently finished physical therapy so that I am now back to playing tennis and golf. The surgical suite was also state of the art!

I can't imagine a procedure going any smoother than my recent knee surgery. Thanks to Dr. Rockett for his expertise in restoring my pain-free mobility. His pre-op information was right on the money with my post-op recovery. In fact, I experienced virtually no pain the evening of the procedure. I never needed to take a pain med and was up and walking without crutches a day or so later. My only regret is that I didn't have the surgery earlier! In addition, the office staff could not have been more considerate and efficient. I barely waited a minute or so prior to an appointment. The DMV should learn how a well-run office operates from these professionals! Lastly, the operating facility is immaculate, spacious, and very conveniently located. Like Dr. Rockett and the office staff, the surgical staff is equally worthy of praise for their kindness and care. An overall exceptional medical experience!

My right hip looked like mashed potatoes on the X-ray, could barely walk w a cane for almost 4 months. Dr. Rockett gave me a sense of calm because I have never been operated on before as a 63 year old. The operation took place at the Natick Surgical Ctr (5 stars) and started at 8:30AM then after some PT and a walk I was back home at 5PM on Cape Cod. Dr Rockett is a superior surgeon and I’m thankful my General practitioner recommended him to me.
I was driving after 8 days and it’s now been two months and I’m walking perfectly upright 2+ miles a day. He has literally changed my life.
Can’t thanks Dr. Rockett enough, outstanding surgeon

I had an unusual fall in early January 2021 that ruptured my quadricep tendon.
I contacted Dr. Rockett, was seen the next day and had MRI to confirm. The following day, my wife and I had a Facetime call to talk about the surgery and what to expect. Dr. Rockett answered all questions and concerns and spent a good amount of time with us. My wife and I felt comfortable and confident with Dr. Rockett. Surgery went well. Dr. Rockett had great bed side manners after surgery and was very good at the post visits to make sure my progress was doing well. His staff was also wonderful by making me comfortable at the visits and the waiting time was less than 5 minute. The healing process takes at least 8-12 months to get back to a best normal. Dr. Rockett did an excellent surgery as I believe I will be back to work full duty in about 7 months. I would recommend Dr. Rockett with great confidence and trust.

Due to bone-on-bone osteoarthritis, I had total hip replacement performed by Dr. Rocket one year ago. Before the surgery I was in constant pain and and the impact on my daily activities was substantial. Now I am back to 100% activity, including rigorous exercise, all while completely pain free. I am very grateful to Dr. Rocket, his staff, and Newton Wellesley Hosp. Highly recommend!!

A had a full knee replacement at age 50 performed by Dr Rockett eight months ago. I can not recommend his services enough. I tell everyone who is considering such surgery to look no further for a surgeon. Being young for this type of surgery I went looking for a doctor who was known for working with young people. Buy did I find the right guy. The more digging into his reputation the better it gets. He's from a family of eminent physicians, has an amazing track record of success, and his clients often go on to run the Boston Marathon. Only eight months after surgery I no longer live in pain, I hardly think of having any problem with my knee ever, and I have accepted my new knee as part of the old me. I only think about it when it clicks sometimes and I'm like, "Oh Hatty yeah. That's a replacement knee." Seriously, Dr Sean Rockett is a champion and hero in the orthopedic community. Google him on youtube and elsewhere. You will find lots of positive reviews. He changed my life dramatically for the better, and it only gets better from here. Thank you Dr Rockett!
