In August 2016, I was having surgery on my ankle at Maple Grove Hospital. While talking to the nurses, I mentioned that I needed to have knee replacement surgery but wasn’t sure what doctor to go to. They encouraged me to not wait to have knee replacement surgery because having it right away would improve my quality of life. The nurses highly recommended
Dr. Brian O’Neill. After healing from my ankle surgery, I made an appointment to see Dr. O’Neill. I liked his approach and knew that when the time came that I would have him replace my knees. I had a total right knee replacement on in July, 2017. I was fortunate to be part of the Excel program. The nurses and staff at the hospital and Excel program were fantastic, I couldn’t have asked for better care. I’m happy to report that after 8 weeks, I have returned to my normal routine. My recovery from knee replacement surgery has far exceeded my expectations, my pain was well managed and I had great range of motion from the very beginning. I am grateful to Dr. O’Neill and his team. I still have my left knee to replace and plan to return to Dr. O’Neill when that time comes.
