I had been suffering from pain in both knees for several years, which forced me to take prescriptions and over the counter medications in an attempt to find temporary relief. After complaining to my family doctor once again, he finally recommended that I see a knee specialist. I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive to move in this direction, especially because I was afraid that if I went to a specialist, I would be told that I needed surgery. However, I was sick of being in constant pain, so I made an appointment with Orthopedic ONE. My hope was to find a young physician who was up on the latest advances and open to exploring more conservative treatment options.

When I entered the office, the receptionist and the registration associate were professional and kind. The warmth of the staff and the openness of the building was inviting and encouraging. Next I met Rhonda, who took excellent care of me and listened to my concerns. Then my story gets even better, in walks Dr. Jeffrey Backes. He was prompt, reviewed by X-rays with me and told me that he would like to give me an injection in each knee to help ease my pain.

I was so relieved that he didn’t suggest surgery, but not knowing how this worked, I asked a few questions before consenting to the shot. Dr. Backes continued to talk with me as he performed the procedure and before I knew it, we were done! The entire experience was so remarkable and the spirit of excellence runs throughout the entire team who helped me. I’m actually looking forward to my next appointment in 6 weeks! Keep up the great work!
