  • “This is my 2nd hip replacement that Dr. Tenholder has performed on me. I think the doctor is great. His team is great. After the 1st operation I had, I knew I would not find a better doctor than Dr. Tenholder. He has a great staff that was very easy to work with and took great care of me.”

  • “Went to see Dr. Watt due to considerable pain and discomfort in DIP joint of little finger. It was his recommendation that I need to have the joint fused and nodules removed. He was extremely informative and courteous. The surgical procedure was held at the Surgery Center. I found the entire staff, including Dr. Watt, to be extremely kind and a pleasure to be around. The surgery was done three weeks ago, and I am pain free from the severe arthritis. If I need anything done on my hands or shoulder during my stay in Florida, I would definitely return to Dr. Watt. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone in need of Orthopedic assistance. My sincere thanks to you, Dr. Watt.”

  • “I've had both of my knees totally replaced. Dr. Thackeray had been treating my knees with injections for years and it reached the point where my one knee was not responding anymore. I would ask periodically when I should consider replacement. The doctor's response was always the same, you'll tell me when you're ready. When I made the decision to have it done, it was my choice. Looking back after the first surgery, I made the same observation others had and that was, I should have done this a long time ago. I did the rehabilitation at the doctors facility and this was very beneficial. The doctor was in constant communication with my therapist and was kept informed of my progress. The therapy was the key to my recovery and Matt ( therapist) was very concerned regarding my previous session. He wanted to know what I was experiencing in my knee and the surrounding muscles. He listened intently and customized the therapy to my responses. The staff at the office, Jamie and Chad were also integral in the total recovery of both my replacements. I said to Dr. Thackeray after my first surgery that there wasn't a moment that I was in doubt about his ability and he immediately gave the glory to our higher power.”

  • “"After a fall off my bicycle in April of 2014 resulting in a nasty injury to my hip, at seventy years of age there was no relief from the pain from my injury. Pain and poor night sleep resulted in a ruined life. Came across some wise words of wisdom from Elementary school:                                   For every ailment under the sun,                                There is a remedy, or there is none.                                If there be one, try to find it.                                If there be none, never mind it . Mother goose was correct then and still is now.  So needless to say, having already been acquainted with the surgeon's at Orthopedic Associates, it was just admitting to myself  that the time had arrived to have the procedure performed and get my life back. And just two months later I'm just about back to my normal life, pain-free and wonderful restful nights rest. Thank you to the wonderful staff and Doctor's at Orthopedic Associates.  ”

  • “I am a snowbird in Florida for the winter. Dr. Tenholder accepted me as a patient in spite of my out of state status. I was given a series of three shots for knee pain.

  • “After a bicycle mishap which caused injury to my right hip, a consultation with my doctor and X-rays verified an injury which was not improving with physical therapy or other minor treatment, in my case age also was a factor. Quality of life issues became apparent. Proceeded with the hip replacement and am now two weeks out and the constant daily pain is gone and mobility is increasing quickly. Looking forward to getting my life back and am glad to be rid of the pain.”

  • “Had a 'trigger finger' issue with tendon of one finger of left hand + some arthritic conditions in right shoulder requiring shot of cortisone. Dr. Watt repaired my left hand & finger condition through surgery. After some physical therapy by excellent therapist, I have full use of my left hand which is totally pain free. In addition, the incision scar is barely visible after one month. Good Job!  ”
