Testimonials

Thanks again for restoring my quality of life.

Dr K, Brad, and the staff at Lederman Kwartowitz Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine,

Please accept this as another testimonial of your fine work. In Dec 2010, Dr. K replaced my left hip. Since then, I have been doing the things I missed because of the pain and hassle.

Approximately 4 weeks after the operation, I was logging in long hours walking the floor at the Auto Show at Cobo. In April of 2011, I walked a hilly 9 hole golf course.  Before surgery, this was unthinkable. (I still have an atrocious game – but that’s nothing you can help).

I used to enjoy skiing, but I could not bend enough to clamp a ski boot. Last time I went, a friend had to do it for me. Enclosed, please find a picture of me skiing in Italy from March of this year.

I only wish I would have done this a few years earlier.

Thanks again for restoring my quality of life.

Sincerely,

David Race

As far as I’m concerned, he is the Wizard of Oz. (VIDEO)

It’s been an unbelievable experience (VIDEO)

I am so happy. I am two weeks out of surgery (VIDEO)

I am extremely grateful for all you have done.

Ron,

I am writing to give you a report on my surgery and update on how I am doing.

The experience at Lakes surgery center was excellent.Everyone was polite and efficient, everything was clean, theanesthesiologist explained the options and what would occur, the nicestwas my surgeon – you. You were there in advance to explain what wouldbe done, you were there at the end to show me exactly what was done, and you were so helpful when I initially had my problem.

You did explain that I would have little pain initially and that a day or twoafter would have pain and swelling and you provided me with medication.You were only partially correct. I did not have pain initially, but I sit here (and stand and walk without ambulatory aids) patiently awaiting my pain -it is no where to be found. I suppose if I concentrate I have a little ache -certainly less then after I play tennis or fast walk. I suppose you might bevindicated and I could experience lot’s of pain tomorrow – but I am not confident. Understand this is NOT a complaint, only to laud your surgical expertise.

When I called you, I knew you would be responsive to my plight because of our relationship, when I chose you as my surgeon it was because I trust you with my patients and have seen some of the outcomes with their surgery and it’s been uniformly excellent. I was not disappointed to say the least. I have 9 years ago undergone a medial menisectomy with considerable pain and swelling post operatively – this experience is totally different. It is only hard for me to stay with your recommendations to take it easy, but I’m trying to be a “good boy” the best I know how. Let me conclude by saying my confidence in your caring for my patients which was always high is even higher. You have the rare combination of being a physician and surgeon and excel at both.

I hope the long term outcome is as good as this initial result appears, but in either event, I am extremely grateful for all you have done.

With high respect and gratitude.”
