Travis D Kieckbusch, MD

I am 71 years old. Dr. Kieckbusch performed my total right hip replacement surgery six weeks ago. I was in the hospital for 2 days. After surgery, I walked with walker for 3 weeks, a cane for 2 weeks and after 6 weeks I am now walking unassisted. I now have zero arthritic hip pain where before surgery, I was disabled. My quality of life has been restored. Before selecting Dr. Kieckbusch for my surgery, I got one other opinion from another orthopedic surgeon regarding my outlook and surgery. Dr. Kieckbusch answered all of my questions directly and set honest expectations about the surgery, risks, my recovery, physical therapy and my future hip integrity. My left hip was replaced 4 years ago at the Cleveland Clinic with outstanding results, so I knew what to expect in terms of surgery, surgical pain and recovery. If you are going to have your hip replaced there are at least two very important things to research. 1. How many of these types of surgeries does the surgeon do? 2. What do other health provider professionals (staff, nurses, hospitals, x-​ray technicians and etc.) think of the surgeon? In summary, I feel that Dr. Kieckbusch did an outstanding job of replacing my right hip. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a candidate for surgery and care provision if you are in need of this type of surgical solution.
