John J O’shea MD

5 weeks ago, Dr O’Shea performed my second complete knee replacement (left knee). He had replaced my right knee a year ago. It had gone so well, I decided to move the second replacement up and had it done this past November. Just as with the first surgery, recovery has been swift and easy. I was walking without any support at 3 weeks. In fact, my PT said that at 3 weeks, I had already reached the goals set for 6 weeks of recovery.
I greatly benefited from Dr O’Shea’s surgical skills but also from his insistence that I should be «like Rocky» and exercise vigorously before surgery. As he explained to me, «You start recovery where you left off in your exercise program before surgery.» I, who am 67 and obese, worked my butt off in the pool and in the gym for several months prior to both knee replacements and it paid off. I am walking with no pain and am off tomorrow to spend a month out of the country with no concerns about my knee. After just 5 weeks.
So, appreciate his surgical skill and listen to his advice about pre and post exercise. In addition, his office staff is wonderful, answered all my questions and moved appointments when necessary.
