SSM Health surgical patients find relief from orthopedic pain

by SSM Health

At SSM Health, we’ve helped thousands of patients rediscover life without pain. Our orthopedic care team works closely with patients, personalizing their needs so they can transition from hurting to healing. Here are a few of their stories.



Drew

Drew came to SSM Health after years of playing football. He’d been in pain for many years and it was time for a hip-replacement surgery. “From the time I met my doctor, he just made me feel super comfortable. If you have bone-on-bone joints, don’t waste a minute being in pain when there are procedures that can be done that will make you feel alive again.”

Monica

Monica was having a lot of shoulder pain after a few falls and went to an orthopedic surgeon at SSM Health recommended by a friend. “After the MRI, my surgeon decided I needed to have a total replacement. I took her advice and listened to her. The results have been wonderful, absolutely wonderful. I can’t say enough about the staff; your recovery is the most important thing to them.”

Barbara

Barbara was so satisfied with her first knee replacement, she came back to the orthopedic team at SSM Health three months later for her other knee replacement. “I had complete confidence. I was amazed at how well it went. I just had my 15-year checkup and my doctor said they look perfect, like it was done yesterday. I would come back in a heartbeat if I needed to.”
