I first saw Dr. Knesek in 2019 to discuss removal of a 9 year titanium plate in my left ankle and to examine my knees. I was having pain issues down into the peroneous longus of the left calf where the titanium plate was placed.Show more I decided to focus on my knees as it seemed to be the better choice. I thought I would be back to have the plate removed shortly thereafter. Further health restraints prevented that.... I then saw him in Dec. 2022 to get what was now 13 year titanium plate removed as it was causing more pain and issues into the knee on that side. My surgery would not have taken place if it hadn't been for Dr. Knesek's clerical and nursing assistant staff. There were time constraints and they did everything to make it go smoothly in transition. Thank you again. The day of the surgery the staff were kind, caring, and did wverything to make sure things went close to schedule as tgey could. They followed every surgical and nonsurgical protocols for keeping me surgically sterile and safe during the procedure as well as themselves. Dr. Knesek came in to see me preop., and everything was explained re surgery. The one thing I really appreciated was the professionalism and caring attitude and skill of the anesthesiologist. I was told I had to have two nerve blocks. I had never had nerve blocks before surgery. One took and the other didn't because I couldn't tolerate it. The procedure was not pushed because they had to get 20 shots into my adductor grp. On the inside of my thigh...It just meant they had to put more pain meds. Into i.v.; and that was ok. The nurses were very compassionate as well during this procedure. I was very lucky and fortunate to have Dr. Knesek agree to take out this plate and the screws after 13 years from when the original surgery had been done by another surgeon out of country. There are not too many surgeons who are confident enough and skilled enough to touch someone else's surgery. I would be happy to reccommend Dr. Knesek and his staff again... Be warned, it is a busy practice and sometimes you are on hold for a long time but it is worth the wait.. Be patient and you can feel safe and secure that you will get the best care he can offer you..
From the moment I walked into the hospital and to the moment I walked out, the nursing staff, all the doctors, the joint therapy staff, the recovery personnel did a top notch operation. Dr. Knesek is a great surgeon who is straighShow moret up and won’t steer you wrong. He will try new medicine techniques and PT before he has to decide to using surgery. He replaced my left knee replacement last year. November 18 this year he replaced the right knee. I let it go too long on taking care of my knees. One of the reasons because there are a lot of other great surgeons out there to choose from the input you get from other patients. I wasn’t sure about Dr. Knesek at first. My sister-in-law had Dr. Knesek operate on her shoulder. She was pleased with the results. The rest is history with me. I’ve been around a long time and I know a lot of people, they trust me. People have asked me about my surgeries with Dr. Knesek and I gave a couple of referrals, some called him, some didn’t. Some people question this new technique, we are not educated about this out here, just so you know. Time will get better. I would like to give kudos to Dr. Knesek’s office staff, that are at the same time professional and personal. I usually don’t blow a lot of smoke. Not all hospital visits and surgeries go as plan. I was very fortunate that mine did.

Dr. McComis is the BEST!
For some unexplained reason, late in August of 2023, I began loosing the ability to put any weight on one and then two legs. I had no idea what the problem was and when I tried making an appointment with my orthopedic physician, the earliest appointment I could get was February 2024. My wife had a successful procedure with Dr. McComis a few years ago so she was able to secure an appointment with him 2 1/2 weeks later (mid-September). During the appointment on a Wednesday, he was able to immediately diagnose my problem and asked us to schedule an MRI on the thoracic portion of my spine. The MRI was performed the next day and that same evening (Thursday) he called me at home and told me to go to the hospital the next day (Friday) for surgery on Monday. His concern was that my nerves were so severely compressed that any significant movement of the spine could result in paralysis. So, after 6 1/2 hours of surgery and at least 4 rods and more screws than I can count, I am back to being myself. Here's the amazing part: Dr. McComis had no previous experience with me, knew nothing of my orthopedic history, and despite this he was able to immediately diagnose the problem, and then surgically correct it.
Physical therapy is awesome and targets specific area of problems on body
Professional, cared about me and my concerns. Know I am being well taken care of .
Dr. McComis & Julie, the nurse practitioner, are great.
Everyone from check in to check out have been so helpful. The medical staff are very pleasant and understanding. Dr. Mccomis takes his time and listens to our concerns.
