Patient Testimonials

I suffered with incredible pain in my left index finger and my right middle finger.  Dr. Gerlach performed a fusion of my finger on my left hand and a trigger finger surgery on my right hand.  I am pain free!!!  I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Gerlach and his staff.

I had my left hip replaced in 2000 with the posterior type surgery. I had difficulty walking (with a very noticeable limp which caused a lot of back pain even after many weeks of therapy.) When my right hip became painful, I was afraid to go through such misery again even though I couldn’t walk more than a few minutes without sitting down. I heard of the less invasive anterior hip approach by accident and was very leery of it until I met Dr. O’Neill. His attitude gave me such confidence that he could correct my limp. I am so thankful that I met him. My surgery was on July 2, 2015 and I came home on July 4th. There wasn’t any need for even a cane after the second week. Now there is absolutely no back pain or limp for the first time in many years. None of my acquaintances could believe that I even had the surgery when they saw me after the second week. It is truly a miracle for me and there aren’t enough words to describe my admiration for Dr. O’Neill and the capabilities for him and his staff.

Dear Dr. Teynor,

After 84 years roaming this planet, my memory has faded somewhat. My wife would probably add and amen to that judgement. 

The purpose of this letter relates to the time you planted a new hip on my left side. I believe the operation was performed in the earlt nineties or late eighties, in which case the implant is between 20 and 25 years old.

I have the impression these devices might last around 15 years. And for your information it’s still going strong. No problems whatsoever. Make me think you’re a pretty good sawbones. Incidentally, my right hip was replaced in Pensacola about 6 years ago, and, to be perfectly frank, I wish I had gone back to you. My right foot is now splayed about 30 degrees to the right and at times it is uncomfortable.

I have thought many times about the source of your expertise and have come to the conclusion it might have been your diet of Rocky Mountain oysters given you out in the Montana hinterlands.

Thanks again,
Kenneth

I can stand upright and walk painlessly, again!

This was the least stressful medical event I’ve ever experienced thanks to Dr. Teynor.  Not only am I able to stand up straight, but I can walk, sit, lie down or do any other activity that was previously difficult or impossible.  No pain, no difficulty during recovery, rehab was a breeze; in fact everything has gone so well, that I often forget that I had the procedure.  I would do it again, with out question.

My knee replacement with Dr. Kelly and the EXCEL program is one of the best medical experiences I’ve ever had. From the check- in at the surgery center to the discharge at York Gardens, everything was just wonderful. The staff is excellent. Every single doctor, nurse, therapist, and aide was a highly skilled professional who delivered such great care. I never sat around waiting for help – there was always someone right there when I needed them. There was also really good communication between all the team members so they were always up to speed on what was happening with me. There were so many small details that added up to big differences. Like no hospital gowns (!) I was given comfortable athletic wear instead. And I had the same two nurses the whole time at the rehab facility – one of them even came along in the van to pick me up from the surgery center. I felt so well cared for every step of the way.

I would recommend this program to anybody who is considering surgery. It was truly outstanding.

Thanks to Dr. McCarthy for successful surgery on my right hand.  I had experienced deformity, with pain and loss of function, as a result of rheumatoid arthritis.  I look forward to the completion of hand therapy and being able to use my hand fully again.

Dr. Larson is the absolute best! 7 weeks post op from hip arthroscopy. I haven’t sat like this in about two years! So unbelievably grateful!

16 weeks post surgery and I was able to return to playing volleyball. I wish the rest of my limbs felt as good as my repaired shoulder! Thanks to Dr. Hunt‘s team and physical therapy team for a near painless and quick recovery!

I’ve had the surgical procedure and a shot to release my Dupuytren’s symptoms in my hand by Dr. McCarthy. The shot was far less intrusive, both as an initial procedure and includes post-op therapy. The results are as good, if not better, than the surgery. I strongly recommend the shot.

My first meeting with Dr. Fischer was quick, professional, and down to the point. The fact that he has done so many procedures was important to me, and that he used a very small incision was a plus. The whole team for surgery was very proficient, explained what they were doing and what to expect. This goes a long way for most people. In my case there was little or no discomfort, more of an inconvenience than anything.

The feeling in my hand steadily improves each week, and is close to being normal again. I would personally recommend Dr. Fischer.

Thank you, Dr. Fischer, for a job well done.
