Symptoms: Bilateral Knee Pain
Physician: Mark D. Visk, MD
Solution: Bilateral Knee Replacement
“I would like to thank Dr. Visk for his expertise and professional skills when he replaced both of my knees. I returned to work within six weeks after the first operation and four weeks after the second. Because of the great work he did on both my knees I was able to continue working as an Aerospace Consultant and 3rd party auditor. Walking is important and critical for my work as I am flying commercial on a weekly basis. I would like to say thanks again for the great care I recieved from Dr. Visk and his staff at Orthopedic Specialties.”

Physician: John E. Keith, Jr., MD
Solution: Knee Replacement
“I kept putting off knee replacement. My concern was infection and blood clots. When I shared this fear with Dr. Keith, he assured me all precautions would be taken. He used the custom knee, Stryker replacement. After surgery I had very little pain, no bruising and my mobility is far beyond expectations. I am so happy with the left knee that I am planning to get the right knee replaced soon.”

Solution: Computer Navigated Knee Replacement
The pain in Jerry Hembree’s knee was keeping a good man down. When regular shots stopped working, it was time to call in the big guns – CAOS (Computer Assisted Orthopedic Surgery), actually.
Jerry turned to Dr. Anthony Sanchez here at Orthopedic Specialties, who employed a newly developed computer navigation system to replace Jerry’s knee into perfect alignment. After only four weeks of recovery time, Jerry is way beyond pain-free. He’s even playing golf again…and, no doubt, looking for one of those navigators to use on the putting green.

Solution: Knee Microfracture Surgery, Bilateral Hip Replacement, Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Replacement
Ed Church has been seeing Dr. John Keith for 15 years. He started with knee microfracture surgery in 1994 after a golf trip in the Bahamas. Then there was the right hip in 2003. Of course, there was also the left hip replacement in 2006. This year it was the Oxford Knee Replacement.
Ed doesn’t trust just anybody, but he trusts Dr. Keith of Orthopedic Specialties. Ed was back playing golf just six weeks after hip replacement surgery. It only took four days to recover from his knee operation. So, even though Ed can’t be certain what moving part may fail next, he can sure tell you who he’ll call to get it moving again.

Mary Goodwin is a powerhouse who doesn’t sit still for anybody – but when a Halloween accident knocked her to her knees, she was down for the count until she could find someone who could help.
Mary turned to Dr. Mark Visk here at Orthopedic Specialties. Dr. Visk was able to replace both knees at the same time and still got Mary on her feet again after only three weeks of recovery. Now she is back to being a full-force firecracker. They tell her she doesn’t need to see Dr. Visk for two years…hah! She’d like to see somebody try to stop her!
