You sure made my day!

Dear Dr. Dickinson,

You sure made my day!  My month!  What a relief to understand the MRI as you explained it and to avoid surgery if possible using physical therapy and cortisone.

Thank you!
C.G.

Many more years of fun on the slopes

Hi Doctor Gilbert,
 
I just put in my first patrol days this weekend at Dodge Ridge.  Weather was wet snow on Saturday with nice California Powder on Sunday. I patrolled both days and it was Great. No hip joint pain at all, but plenty of sore and tired mussels by Sunday evening. I am full of gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding skill and service that you gave to me.

I thought of you and your staff many times over the weekend.  I just wanted to say Thank You to You and all involved in giving me many more years of fun on the slopes.

Merry Christmas.  With Joy and Gratitude,
 
J.W.

I haven’t felt this good in at least 7-8 years

Dear Dr. Gilbert,

This note is just to tell you how wonderful my life is now that I have rehabilitated my new knee.  The physiotherapist did a great job and you are a miracle worker.
I can walk and sit with no pain.  I haven’t felt this good in at least 7-8 years.  A whole new life has been opened for me.  Thank you so much for a job well done.  I am grateful.

Happy Biking,
  E.S.

Only Five Weeks After The Surgery

We just came back from a week long trip to Yellowstone National Park . It was our first time there, and we hope to go back soon. It is impossible to describe the experience in simple words, and even the photo images from the best photographers cannot convey the feeling of 'WOW' we had while we were there. The park is huge, and we drove from one end to the other a few times, discovering new things to see each time, including seeing wild animals face to face.

During all of our driving and walking, I never even thought about my hip (only five weeks after the surgery), thanks to the great work of my surgeon Dr. Peter Callander. Now that I am back I am looking forward to hearing from you, and your friends.
