Patient Testimonials

I left Dr. Stickney's office the day of the surgery for home. At one point during my recuperation, I wanted to get ahold of Dr. Stickney relatively quickly, so I called his cell phone and left him a voice message. That was on a Sunday afternoon, and he called back about half an hour later at the end of a hike he was just on! I believe he was talking to me from the trailhead and took care of my concern immediately. That surprised me and pleased me no end. Class act.

Jeff D.Knee Replacement

Utilizing the Swift Path Method was very easy for myself and my partial knee replacement. Realizing going through the slides initially giving you a what to expect and getting yourself set up to succeed. I realized during my recovery that Ice when used promptly and efficiently can replace the need for pain medications. As a result, I was able to manage my post surgical discomfort without the use of any opiates. I only used OTC NSAID for pain and ice.
