At age 65, my right knee had deteriorated to a point where I was in constant pain. My activities were quite limited and I knew I needed a knee replacement. After thoroughly researching alternative surgeons, I interviewed
Dr. Anseth and instantly chose him - his web site was great and he was even better in person! I could not be happier with my choice. The surgery was smooth and the recovery was exactly as predicted. In fact, several times I checked in with Heidi on progress and other questions, and her predictions on recovery events were consistently accurate. Now, one year later, the new knee has passed all tests in flying colors. I'm walking the golf course, skiing double black diamond runs and participating in fitness classes with no pain and incredibly few limitations (no running, box jumps or jumping rope, but otherwise all is good).
I particularly appreciated both Dr. Anseth and Heidi's attitudes of flexibility in my permitted activities, which allowed resumption of sports at levels even better than pre-surgery (since there's no pain). I'm fortunate to have experienced a lot of excellent medical providers (and some not so good) and am delighted to report that Dr. Anseth and his whole team reside in the top category. Fortunately, I don't need my other knee repaired and don't plan on any revisions to this one. But if I ever needed another surgery, I would choose Dr. Anseth and his team - hands down without reservation - to assure they were on it.
