Patient Testimonials

I owe many thanks to Dr. Nemanich for my two new ACLs. 15 months ago I blew out both ACLs skiing. I was afraid I’d never ski the same way again. 2 weeks later I had bilateral ACL replacement surgery (also removed some hardware from previous surgery) and was out for the season. What a helpless feeling! I was like a turtle stuck on its back. I thought I’d never get back to walking normal, let alone skiing again. I’m an avid mountain biker and skier; I did not want to lose any ability to do the things I love. I was lightly biking on a stationary bike within 3 months and riding the local mountain bike trails in 5 months. 7 months later I rode hard without fear and without braces. Biking made my knees feel great! 650 miles of trail riding and 2 hours of physical therapy a day really helped my progress. But what about skiing? That was my main concern. I skied as much as possible this season, hoping for the best, wondering if the knees would hold out. I’m happy to say I put in over 500k vertical feet. I skied locally and also visited Vail, Keystone, A-Basin, Breck, Beaver Creek, Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole. I’ve never put on more miles on my bike or more vertical feet skiing in one season ever before. And I was able to do this thanks to Dr. Joe Nemanich. He gave me the confidence, advice and support to come back just as strong as I was before my surgery. Do your physical therapy, think positive and work hard toward your goals. You CAN come back stronger!

I had my knee replacement in December 2009 and could not be happier! Within months I could walk without pain, dance with my husband and live life pain free. Bless you Dr. Nemanich, you ARE the best! I refer everyone who asks me about where I had it done or by who.

I couldn’t be happier with all the great services Dr. Nemanich and his staff provided me during the spring of 2008. I received my first hip in April and was up and getting around like a new person. I was so excited about the mobility. He even took pictures of my hip during his surgery just for me! All was going extremely well when I fell off my bike on my new hip and broke my leg and needed another hip! He spent hours putting me back together. I am walking today because of his skills. He is easy to talk to and loves to explain all of your concerns. He and his staff are the greatest!

Dr. Deal performed spinal fusion surgery on me in February, 2015. I couldn’t have been more pleased with Dr. Deal and the result of the surgery. I found Dr. Deal to be very professional, caring, and thorough. He took time to explain the need for the procedure and any recovery issues, and answered all of my questions. I am a retired Registered Nurse and immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Deal’s knowledge and handling of my case. The surgery went very well and my recovery has been going great. I would highly recommend Dr. Deal as an experienced and competent orthopedic surgeon.

Two total hip replacements in just over thirteen months. The procedures and recovery could not have gone better thanks in no small measure to Dr. Joseph Nemanich. His confidence and enthusiastic professionalism gave me so much confidence I just knew that everything was going to work out perfectly. And it did. I almost wish I had a third hip for Dr. Nemanich to replace. I could not recommend anyone more highly than Dr. Joe Nemanich when it comes to joint replacement surgery. Thanks so much Dr. Nemanich. You have given me two new great hips to enjoy once again all the physical activities I so much enjoy in life.

When I came to the realization that I needed a hip replacement, I started reading reviews like this one, I questioned if it really was as successful with the minimal discomfort that people stated?

This surgery was one of the best decisions of my life and to say I would strongly I recommend Dr. O’Neill to anyone who is considering this procedure would be an understatement..
Monday morning I had my surgery and was home Tuesday by noon, by Thursday I was walking with a cane and on my own by Saturday.
One of my biggest concerns was missing work, I missed a total of 7 days now grant it, I am at a desk most of the day but my coworkers were amazed at the progress!
The most amazing thing to me was how quickly and steady the healing process was, I just went back for my 10 week checkup and I have no restrictions in fact I don’t even think about my hip anymore.

Thank you for giving me my mobility back again and I am looking forward to the summer activities that I have been missing, you folks are the best!

On a scale of 1 to 10 Dr. Norgard gets a “12” for the surgery he performed on both of my knees. Hats off also to the Good Dr., Unity and Mercy Hospitals, and their Nurses for the great pain management plan they put together. I was 99% pain free after both surgeries!

I had direct anterior hip replacement done on my right hip April 23, 2015. The next morning I was walking with no aid (crutch/cane)- I couldn’t believe it!

I spent only one night in the hospital. Two days later, I was walking the dog. I played golf (chipping/putting) 8 days after surgery.

I had my left hip replaced in 2006 by another TCO surgeon. I spent 4 nights in the hospital. Two weeks on crutches, then needed a cane.

The anterior hip replacement is the only way to have a hip replaced! Minimally invasive, little pain and recovery time is little to none.

Dr. O’Neill has a lot of experience in the anterior hip replacement procedure. He answered all my questions-and then some. I am recommending this surgery to all who need it. One person who saw me two weeks after surgery is already in the process of scheduling anterior hip replacement surgery with Dr. O’Neill.

Dr. Teynor replaced my left hip last year and I could not be more pleased with the results. My pain is a distant memory and my posture is better than it has ever been.  I may not be sprinting like I once did but I can walk with the best of them.

Thank you Dr. McGarvey! Approximately 10 years ago you repaired my badly fractured left ankle, the rod is still with me, and I have NOT had a single problem. I remember your advice to keep my ankle higher than my heart for two months in order to avoid arthritis in the future. I did my best and I guess it worked.
