Lawrence Tackett Double Knee Replacement
Construction was among our top 5 jobs associated with joint pain. Typically, the same motions day after day will wear down cartilage and cause joint pain. While some careers require the same motions, others may not. Many years in construction, among other factors led Lawrence Tackett to a double knee replacement in August 2023.
Lawrence found it rather inconvenient that he loves being outdoors, going for walks and working in his yard. However, this summer will be the year for fresh lines in his lawn, long walks and getting a nice suntan because nothing is stopping him!
“Prior to surgery I had trouble just walking. Now I can do pretty much anything I want,” Lawrence stated. Lawrence opted to get both knees replaced at the same time, so he only had one procedure and one recovery process. This decision is one that Dr. Cohen supports and is fully confident in completing. Lawrence is 80 years old, the youngest of 10, and married with beautiful kids and grandkids. “I’m really looking forward to vacationing and being a part of the activities that I once couldn’t be.”
When deciding he couldn’t withstand the pain any longer, Lawrence and his wife did their research. “I wanted to get the best person that I could,” Lawrence expressed. He came across Dr. Brian Cohen, Orthopedic Surgeon and quickly realized his reviews were unmatched.
“My first appointment went better than expected. He was a real people person, and he cared about me and how I was doing. Dr. Cohen and his staff treated my wife and I with respect,” said Lawrence. His experience was nothing short of 10/10. While Lawrence explained himself as independent, he could rely on Dr. Cohen and his staff to inform and comfort him and his wife.”
If you’re in pain and looking to get back to those activities, like Lawrence, schedule an appointment today!
