In 2015, I began experiencing pain in my right knee. The pain was bearable until I had surgery on my left foot, forcing me to put all my weight on my right side as I recovered. When the pain finally became too much, I made an appointment with Orthopedic ONE. I was scheduled with Dr. Jeffrey Backes and I now consider that to be my lucky day! During my appointment, it was determined that I would be a very good candidate for knee replacement surgery. I think he was as surprised as I was to learn this! I wasn’t quite ready to take the plunge, so Dr. Backes made me as comfortable as possible with steroid shots until I worked up the nerve to schedule surgery. Dr. Backes performed my knee replacement in January 2017. Within 2 months, I was back to work and pain free! This whole experience has been life changing. I always felt well taken care of and can’t believe that after all this time I’m able to live my life without knee pain! Thank you, Dr. Backes!
