Patient Stories

Knee surgery was the right answer

Carolyn tried several non-surgical treatments, from over-the-counter medications to steroid injections to assistive devices, like a cane or walker. But finally, the pain became so bad that she could barely walk. So, she moved forward and had joint replacement surgery on her left knee.

Laura Walker severely injured her knee at age 29. She spent two decades in agonizing pain.

Laquita had a total knee replacement at the Genesis Neuroscience & Orthopedic Center. After the procedure, she was pain free and able to climb stairs again.

Knee replacements last longer with KneeAlign technology, a surgical option available for patients, like Glenna Simon, at Genesis.

When Bill Howard severed a tendon in his finger, he was glad to get surgery by Clayton Gibson, M.D., a fellowship-trained orthopedic hand surgeon. Now Bill is back to enjoying his favorite hobby.

After minimally invasive shoulder surgery, Mark is pain-free and able to enjoy casting a pole without wincing.
