Patient Testimonials“I had my ankle replaced by Dr. Sticha. For the first time since I broke it, I am pain free. The doctors and staff are wonderful, and I felt they did a great job! Thank you!” Lindsay N. “As a newcomer to the Alexandria area, I have a great primary physician. Our area is also blessed to have the Heartland Orthopedic Specialists clinic. Dr. Sticha and his staff gave excellent care in repairing my injury and in the post surgical care and rehabilitation. Getting older is not for the faint of heart, but good medical clinics like Heartland make it a lot easier.” Steve B. “What a wonderful program! I have nothing but high praise for your Joint Replacement Center.” Lila A. “There is hardly enough room to say how pleased I am with the Joint Replacement staff and Facility at DCH! My hip joint replacement has been nothing short of miraculous. The pre- and post-op therapy and follow-up contacts were much appreciated and very helpful. I can’t believe how much better I feel when weather fronts move in now. Thank you all so much!” Gerald R. “The Joint Replacement Center is a great thing. The staff do a great job at getting a person going.” Marvin J. “I had a partial knee done prior to the Joint Replacement Center. It went very well. I had this partial knee done in January ’09. The difference, night and day. The pre-op class, the surgery, the post-op Camp, the guidebook, the exercises, the camaraderie at camp, made this a very positive experience. I felt better knowing I was not alone and the support we received was, and is, so comforting. Kudos to all!! P.S. The reunion luncheon was great. We got to see some of our cohorts and touch base — the food was delicious also!” Gloria T. “In July I had my first knee replacement surgery at another facility. The Joint Replacement Center pre-op exercises and joint camp made a huge difference in my recovery from my second surgery in January. It was so good to wear clothes and to work with a group of people who were in the same “boat”. Everything seemed easier and less painful this time. Everyone on the staff was wonderful! Thanks for everything!” Denise O. “I liked the whole program. My physical therapist was impressed with the guidebook – how it prepared us for the surgery and the exercise program to follow. I felt the care from the nurses was excellent. They were so caring and helpful.” Anonymous “I was impressed with your program. As a coach, we had good training so that I knew how and what was required and what to expect.” Karen H. “I really appreciated the Joint Replacement Center. The information prior to the surgery was very helpful. The group therapy sessions were very helpful, I enjoyed the group approach. Involving volunteers with previous joint replacements was very encouraging.” Larry J. “The program was very well organized, and both my husband and I appreciated the concern of everyone involved, including nurses and therapists. They were all great.” Junnell W. “Thank you for the wonderful care and concern. This program is key to recovery. Thank you for bringing it all together.” Tom H. “Initial education class with book: Excellent. Pre-surgical exercises: Excellent. Pain Control: Excellent. Hospital Staff: Excellent. PT was Great — Very Motivating.” Conrad K. “I have had the opportunity if that’s what word you would use—to have procedures provided by at least four of the doctors from Heartland Orthopedics. Some have been routine surgeries others have been very complicated. There was a high risk of loss of the use of a limb in one case with a delicate elbow surgery, still amazes me how all the pieces fit back together. Alexandria and the area surrounding are absolutely blessed to have the quality of doctors they have here, the staff, nurses. The new facility will compliment the growing respect for Heartland Orthopedic Specialists.” Pat A. “I couldn’t be more pleased and thankful to Dr. Dudley for his expert care and repair of my hip fracture. I would tell anyone of my positive experience.” Virginia A. “I have needed the help of several of the doctors and staff over the years. I was not treated as “just a number” from any of them but with heart.” Linda M. |
