I started with Dr Wilcox several years ago for a torn minsecus and had surgery it went well then few years later had to have it done again…I am very active and started playing racquet ball again and did so 3 plus days a week beside all the other excersing and bike riding I was doing and then in 2010 had to have surgery again tore the minescus again and had to have it done twice with few months time it went well and then back to my sport and routine I went to only tear the other knee and at the time Dr. Wilcox said the next step will be replacements and the knee just would not get better so I was referred to his partner Dr Kennedy and Dec 1, 2011 I was having my first knee replacement at age 57 the surgery went well but, oh the pain it was just like the dr. said it would be pain and lots of it but, the best thing was the bending machine I would use 2 hours 3 times a day beside starting therapy right away the dr. was very pleased how things went and in 3 months which was March 2012 I had the other one done again the pain was great but, with therapy starting right away it went as well as the first one and am so pleased I had it done I started riding bike again this summer and could ride at least 9 miles a day with alot of days doing it twice. I have learned you got to get them moving and I do..it is so nice to be able to walk again and get up out of a chair and not have that intense pain or having to wait a few minutes to even start walking because of the pain..I think these two doctors are the best they are very straight forward with a person and let you know just how things will go and what to look for after surgery..they are very caring and can’t say enough about either of them..I see Dr. Kennedy’s assistant Nicole Schiff most of the time for check ups and she is one smart person she is easy to talk to and answers any questions I might have…don’t be afraid if they would mention knee replacements it is the best thing I have done although I can’t play my racquet ball all I wanted was to ride bike again and that I have back…thank you so much
