Frank Jackson's Story
Former boat captain Frank Jackson is thrilled with the results he is experiencing
so soon after his bilateral knee replacement surgery performed by orthopedic
surgeon Gary Ackerman, MD. “I can’t believe that the pain
is gone,” says Jackson, 61, just three days after surgery, smiling
from ear to ear. Frank was diagnosed with arthritis in both knees and
has endured excruciating pain for years. "After hearing all of my
father’s horror stories of his knee surgery 20 years ago, I am stunned
at how well my surgery has worked! Mostly I’m happy I will be able
to keep up with my wife!”
Joanne Farley's Story
"I wish to applaud Dr. Andrew Noble and his team for the excellent
experience I had with a total hip replacement. Sharon, in the office is
outstanding in her efficiency and kindness. As far as the surgical procedure
went, the new pharmaceutical protocol is amazing. I never had to take
the pain killer that was prescribed for break through pain - as I never
had any. After going home, I had physical therapy and occupational therapy
came to the house. I was able to reach all of their goals for me in a
week. I used a walker for 10 days and walked independently after that.
By the way - I'll be 81 in March!"
Sharon‘s Story
Sharon had right total hip arthroplasty with Mako-assisted robotic guidance
and navigation on March 19, 2019. “I chose Dr. Lyall Ashberg because
I was impressed with the precision of the robotic system.” Prior
to surgery she attended the preoperative class at Jupiter Medical Center
which she found very helpful. After an overnight stay Sharon returned
home with physical therapy, she continues physical therapy at the outpatient
clinic in her community. “Everybody at Jupiter Medical Center was
great, the hospital was clean, people were courteous and helpful. It was
a good experience.” She’s had a great recovery, within a week
she was resuming activities and a month after surgery considers herself
almost completely back to normal. “This was a very fast recovery,
I’m very happy with the outcome.”
