“Dr. Boyd is very compassionate and caring and I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring knee replacement. ”

I’ve been employed by Tri-State Orthopaedic Surgeons for almost 12 years. In 2015 it became apparent after several years of discomfort and pain I was going to require knee replacements; I went from employee to patient. Dr. Boyd performed both of my knee replacements, one in August of 2015 and the other in November of 2015.

Dr. Boyd is not only a great surgeon but has a wonderful personality and awesome bedside manner. Dr. Boyd is very compassionate and caring and I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring knee replacement.

It took a lot of work to get through my rehab and during that time Dr. Boyd was so patient and encouraging. Once I completed my rehab it has definitely improved my quality of life. I am walking again, and I am not in pain!!!

“I am now able to walk without pain and I walk 1 mile to a 1 1/2 mile daily. I can work in my yard and go shopping like a normal person.”

When I went to see Dr, Lee in January of 2015, she told me the shots would no longer work, that my knees had to be replaced, She replaced the first one in March of 2015, I had such a great recovery that she agreed that we could replace the other one, it was replaced in August 2015, just 5 months apart.

I was 70 years old when this was done, I had a remarkable recovery due to the surgery that she performed and the excellent care that I received from her. I am now able to walk without pain and I walk 1 mile to a 1  1/2 mile daily. I can work in my yard and go shopping like a normal person.

I owe all of this to Dr. Lee, she is a very caring Dr. and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Dr. Lee.

“I have now completely recovered and am able to walk again without pain.”

I have been a patient of Dr. Saltzman for many years.  I was first referred to him for arthritis, but since then he has performed arthroscopy on both of my knees and replaced one of my hips.  Before surgery walking was difficult and painful, but only ten days after the procedure I was walking without assistance.  I have now completely recovered and am able to walk again without pain.

My experience has led me to refer several friends and colleagues to Dr. Saltzman, and all have reported positive results.  Booking an appointment or reaching him on the phone is never difficult.  His staff is friendly and conscientious, always following up to check on my progress after a procedure.  Above all, Dr. Saltzman’s professionalism and high standard of care have always given me complete confidence in both his diagnoses and treatment.

“I am now able to play with my daughter with ease like nothing ever happened.”

I came to Dr. Perry after having pain in my wrist for a couple of years.  My daughter was just a few months old and starting to be a little more adventurous.  I wasn’t able to play with her as much as I would like because it hurt to crawl around with her and pick her up and do much of anything.  I just assumed that my wrist pain was normal, but I finally gave in and went to the see the doctor.  It turns out I had ruptured a ligament in my wrist and my bones were on the move.  I had to have everything put back in place and a pin put in my wrist for 6 weeks.  I had never even had a broken bone or stitches before.  I was very scared and right from the beginning Dr. Perry talked me through everything.  He was very nice and comforting and listen to my mountain of questions.

The day I got my pin taken out I was able to start doing some exercises to get my wrist back in motion.  I progressed quickly and Dr. Perry was very encouraging.  I am now able to play with my daughter with ease like nothing ever happened.  I am able to go back to all of my water sports like skiing, kayaking, and paddle boarding.  I was even able to teach my daughter how to kayak in her very own little kayak.  I feel so much better and work is easier with my wrist healed.  I am very grateful for the time and thought Dr. Perry put into my case,  and I would recommend him to anyone!

“Dr. Paul Daines did a wonderful job in replacing my ankle joint and now I am walking without any pain.”

Dr. Paul Daines did a wonderful job in replacing my ankle joint and now I am walking without any pain.  I would advise anyone that has that pain in your ankle to have it done.

“If not for the excellent care and compassion I have received from Dr. Perry, his nurse practitioner Joy May, nurse Katie and the whole Tri-State Orthopaedics team I do not think I would be doing as well as I am.”

I first developed symptoms in my right arm and shoulder approximately one and a half years ago. I had pain radiating down my arm that was waking me up at night. I made an appointment with Dr. Perry and he suspected that it was a frozen shoulder. He recommended therapy to see if this would help. Symptoms did improve but after some time I was back to hurting again. We tried a couple injections and a home exercise program. After several months I began having pain again. After consulting with Dr. Perry’s nurse practitioner Joy May, she recommended we get an x-ray and then an MRI. The MRI confirmed that surgery was required. On March 28, 2016 I had a right shoulder scope, Acromioplasty, Mumford with manipulation. I am now 12 weeks post op surgery and getting better and stronger each day with the help of my therapists here at Tri-State. If not for the excellent care and compassion I have received from Dr. Perry, his nurse practitioner Joy May, nurse Katie and the whole Tri-State team I do not think I would be doing as well as I am. I keep working hard every day to reach my goals. A special thank you to Dr. Perry. You are the Best!!

“All of this has been made possible by the skill and care of Dr. Lee and her staff at Tri-State Orthopedics.”

Hi, my name is Danny McDonald. My medical association with Dr. Lee and Tri-State Orthopedics began in August of 2002 with a torn ACL and meniscus. Dr. Lee performed ACL reconstruction on my right knee. After intensive therapy, I was back to work and riding my bike in only 8 weeks.

I have always been an avid bicycle rider. In 1980 I suffered a terrible knee injury to my left knee, fast forward to 2009, my left knee is bone against bone and severely bowed. After treatment for the pain, Dr. Lee determined it was time for a knee replacement. So I had my left knee replaced in July of 2009. I was back to work in 8 weeks, walked a 5K n 9 weeks and took a 65 mile bike ride after 10 weeks.

After years of limping on a bad knee, working on concrete floors, and wear and tear my right hip needed to be replaced in December 2014. This recovery was even more remarkable to me than my quick recovery from knee replacement I had my hip replaced on December 22 and was recovering at home just a little over 24 hours! I was able to walk into my home unassisted and was back to riding an exercise bike in 18 days. I would have been back out on my outdoor bike, but it was just to cold! I was back to work in 8 weeks. In July 2015, a little less than 7 months after the hip replacement, I rode in the RAIN (Ride Across Indiana) bike ride. I rode 162 miles in 11 hours and 49 minutes. This was the 3rd time I had done this ride, but the first time with both an artificial hip and knee.

Dr. Lee has always encouraged me to keep on riding my bike and stay active. I have averaged 3,000 mile a year for the last 9 years, plus working full time and keeping up with 6 very active grandkids.

All of this has been made possible by the skill and care of Dr. Lee and her staff at Tri-State Orthopedics.

“I'm feeling so much better now. And the one thing that remains-- is the appreciation that I have, for the amazing Doctor Daines.”

Off the bleachers I did fall,
I’ve had a few strains and sprains.
But this time I knew it was broken,
So I went to see Doctor Daines.

I talked to him and explained–
“I’m not one who usually complains,
But I seem to have a problem here,
Can you help me, Doctor Daines?

After examining my x-rays,
He used his God given brain,
He said he thought he could fix it–
The remarkable Doctor Daines.

My ankle was swollen so we wait,
Until he ascertains-
That it is time for surgery,
The unshakable Doctor Daines.

Three bones had been broken,
And with all my aches and pains,
I was afraid he couldn’t deliver,
The confident Doctor Daines.
But he fixed my trimalleolar fracture,
Now I don’t even use a cane,
Now I walk with hardly a limp,
Thanks to the talented Doctor Daines.

It still gets a little swollen,
I can feel it when it rains,
But most of that will subside–
Says the hopeful Doctor Daines.

I’m feeling so much better now.
And the one thing that remains–
Is the appreciation that I have,
For the amazing Doctor Daines.

And thanks for your help, doctor Tidwell-
I want you to know that you did well. ( And I thank you)

And to all who helped me through–
I want to thank every one of you.

“He is a very friendly and caring doctor. Hip surgery gave me back my health and quality of life.”

Dr David Whitney was so nice and kind.  He is a new doctor that started practicing in Henderson but made me feel like he knew me a lifetime.  It has been a blessing knowing Dr. Whitney.  He listens to his patients, does not rush them out of his office, and lets you express your feelings.  He is a very friendly and caring doctor.  Hip surgery gave me back my health and quality of life.

“It is fantastic knowing that I can do anything I want and not have to worry about my knee.”

As a men’s soccer player at the University of Evansville I had to compete at the highest level. In the spring of my freshmen year I tore my ACL during a match, this was the second time as this previously happened in my high school career. It is very difficult to come back from one ACL reconstruction let alone two, Dr. Saltzman made this process for me as smooth as can be. Not only did the surgery go well but, I was back playing for the Aces that fall. Throughout my college career I never had to doubt if my knee was going to hold up it felt as strong as it did prior to any of my injuries. I am now 6 years removed from my ACL reconstruction and have had a wonderful college soccer career, played multiple other recreational sports, Qualified for the Boston Marathon, and have also competed and finished an Ironman. It is fantastic knowing that I can do anything I want and not have to worry about my knee.

“With the assistance of the rehabilitation staff and to Dr. Lee’s surgical brilliance and wise advise, I am now stronger than ever.”

Dr. Jeana Lee preformed an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery on my left knee after a football injury during my sophomore year at Tell City High School in 2011. After my injury, I was disappointed and worried that I would never recover 100%, but following my first appointment with Dr. Lee I was assured that I would be able to come back stronger than ever. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Lee was available to answer any of my questions and became a person I could trust and count on. Noted by physical therapists that I was the best patient that they have ever seen and that I was recovering so rapidly that it was a little unbelievable, I was able to walk without a limp in less than a week, to run in a month, and I was fully released back to playing baseball in just four months. With the assistance of the rehabilitation staff and to Dr. Lee’s surgical brilliance and wise advise, I am now stronger than ever.

“Because of Dr. Tim Hamby and everyone with Tri-State Orthopaedics, my quality life has improved more than I could imagine. ”

When my family doctor suggested I see Dr. Tim Hamby with Tri-State Orthopaedics it was a lucky day in my life. With Dr. Hamby’s knowledge of sports it was easy for me to discuss my problems I was having and the future goals I was trying to accomplish.

When the pain in my knee was so bad I knew an operation had to take place, I became nervous and a little scared having the operation. This all changed when Dr. Hamby and his staff especially, Martha, took care of me like I was part of their family.

Dr. Hamby’s surgery skills were used again when he performed rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder. My knees and shoulder are not perfect, but because of Dr. Tim Hamby and everyone with Tri-State Orthopaedics my quality life has improved more than I could imagine.
