patient water skiing

Tom, a competitive water skier for over 40 years, suffered a severe knee injury where he broke his tibia, fibula and tore his MCL. Over the years, the repair and his knee wore out and his arthritis got progressively worse. After a series of hyaluronic acid injections and other therapies, Tom made the decision to schedule an appointment with Dr. Donald Roberts at Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery based on high recommendations from friends and their excellent results.

Tom underwent a total knee replacement in December 2018. "The surgery went very well and the team at Salmon Creek Hospital was amazing. Thanks to Mike Baer at the Lake Oswego office my recovery was remarkable. Mike always provided the perfect mix of challenge and restraint. He allowed me to push as hard as I could without going too far. His knowledge and experience were greatly appreciated," says Tom.

Tom's goal after surgery was to be able to water ski by summer, and he started skiing again in March. "I started out slowly and was pretty conscious of how I felt. By May I was pretty comfortable and started getting ready for tournaments. I skied my first tournament in July and had the highest score in my age group. It felt good to be back and pain-free," shares Tom.

Patrick, an avid kiteboarder, mountain biker, cross country skier, hiker, and swimmer had abused his knees over the years. Between these activities and more, he suffered a torn ACL, multiple partial meniscectomies, and a lateral release. Patrick met a Hood River resident on the beach in Los Barriles who had done a huge amount of research on knee replacements and determined that Dr. Borus and Rebound was the optimum place. With the instability, pain, and swelling becoming too much, Patrick finally made the decision to seek treatment and schedule an appointment at Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery.

Patrick underwent a bilateral knee replacement where both knees were replaced at the same time. "It was really important to me that I find a doctor who would do both of my knees at once. I am a time-obsessed Type A personality and the thought of going through two separate time-consuming rehabilitations was anathema to me. I was so glad that Dr. Borus was willing to do both at once and I will be returning to all of my favorite activities without having to take another four months off for another surgery," says Patrick.

Although only a few months post-surgery, Patrick has been extremely pleased with the results so far. He has been able to resume riding his bike and swimming, as well as walking, yard work, and gardening.

"One of my passions for the past 35 years has been road and mountain biking. I was thinking that I might not be able to resume riding my bike until several months after surgery, but after riding a recumbent bike at physical therapy for a week or so, I was actually able to get on my bike and ride eight miles without significant pain or difficulty," shares Patrick.

Patrick sees his surgeries as great successes and happily reports that he was able to resume his activities just five weeks after his double bilateral knee replacement.

patient hiking on mountain

"Wanted to let you know how well my knees are doing! I've been hiking a lot and climbing mountains this summer. This picture is from on top of the Matterhorn (elevation 9826') in the Eagle Cap Wilderness only 6 months after partial knee replacement and 8 months after ACL reconstruction. A big thank you for helping me get back to doing what I love!" – Randy Greenshields

Randy, an avid hiker, hunter, horseback rider, and mountain biker, had lost his ability to run or do the activities that he enjoyed due to chronic knee pain and swelling. After trying over-the-counter home remedies and talking to his friends and family, Randy made the decision to schedule an appointment at Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery based on their great reputation and a high recommendation from a friend that's a retired orthopedic surgeon.

Randy underwent both an ACL reconstruction on one knee and a partial knee replacement on the other knee within seven weeks of each other. "Both of them went great! The surgeries were no piece of cake to recover from, but totally worth it to get relief from the chronic pain that was keeping me from my passions," says Randy.

Although Randy ideally wanted to be completely healed and back to hiking immediately following his surgeries, he understood that his recovery was going to take some time. He credits the Rebound team with helping him prepare for what was going to happen by keeping his leg muscles in good shape prior to surgery with prehab exercises on a stationary bike. Randy worked hard at his post-operative physical therapy regimen and was back to hiking to the top of the mountains in no time.

Randy sees his surgeries as great successes and happily reports that he was back to hiking to the tops of mountains, riding horses, and bike riding already, just six months since his partial knee replacement surgery!

"I really appreciate the entire team that helped prep me for my surgeries, helped complete the surgeries, and gave me the tools for a fast recovery back to doing what I love," says Randy. "A huge thank you to both Dr. Borus and Dr. Southerland and their teams for a great experience!"

In 2014 I was diagnosed with a large benign brain tumor. I was referred to Dr. Modha at Rebound by another neurologist who called Dr. Modha's office during my appointment with the first doctor. By the time I got to my house Dr. Modha's office had called my house and left a message to call in the morning. I called first thing and they made appointment that day I was in Dr. Modha's office making an appointment for brain surgery within several weeks. Wow it was incredible to receive such quality care so quickly. I am very grateful.

The surgery went very well. I was given excellent care by the staff. The doctor came to check on me himself during my 7 day stay. The hospital and clinic are very organized and carefully explained the recovery process and expectations I am so thankful for the experience I had. I have not been hospitalized since having children 25 years ago. I would chose this facility in the future if needed. Thank you to Dr. Modha and all the staff.

It was a year in November 2015 that I am still cancer free!! Dr. Modha and his crew were amazing! Very scary and unexpected time for me and my family when I found out I had a brain tumor. I had been having many bad headaches, and was starting to get nauseus & dizzy. After trying a couple different medications that did not help, I asked to get an MRI, and that is when they saw it instantly. My wife and I met with Dr. Modha and he wasted no time in getting me in to surgery, and he made me and my family feel very confident that everything was going to be okay. He is an amazing doctor, and I would recommend him to anybody that was going through what I went through. Thankful to be alive and cancer free all because of him!!!

After several years of trying to manage my severe pain and numbness caused by spinal stenosis I saw Dr. Le who recommended surgery; he explained the procedure in lay person's terms and now, after 3 months post surgery I feel so grateful to be pain free! Thanks to the entire Neurosurgery team and 8th floor staff at SW Medical Center, You are the best!

Ruptured L5. Surgery 10/2015. Followed Dr.'s post surgery orders of walking & yoga. 12 months later I am back to my old self. Thank you Rebound. Thank you Dr. Le.

-Jim K.
In 2001 I had a spinal fusion for a congenital pars defect which caused decades of chronic pain and excruciating leg pain. Dr. Hoang Le did the surgury, and as a result I have essentially no pain, and am back, after years of disability, to doing whatever I want. Dr. Le, you appreciate the days weeks of pain I have not had in almost 4 years. I am DEEPLY grateful, as is my wife, Patty. Thank you Rebound Team and SW Washington Hospital.

-Robert G.
