Stephen R. Southerland, M.D., F.R.C.S.C.

Dr. Southerland and his PA Joel Phillips were fantastic. In fact, the whole Rebound Team is fantastic for many reasons. The most amazing thing is that I was pain free from the minute I woke up from double hip replacement surgery! No arthritic pain, but not even incision pain. After 3 months of recovery, I was in the gym doing yoga, stationary bike, elliptical machine and walking up and down the gym's two-story stairs. And I suspect that I will be back on the squash court in another 2 months.

The whole Rebound experience is great. First, the Team educates you before and after surgery so that you know what to expect and how to make a speedy recovery. Second, Dr. Southerland and his PA Joel are highly skilled and compassionate. They answered all of our many questions before and after the surgery. They performed the surgery (both hips) in less than 2.5 hours leaving only two 5-inch scars. Third, I had great nursing care and physical therapy while in the hospital ... yes, you start walking right after the surgery. And fourth, I had great physical therapy from Mike Colby at Rebound for two months. His weekly evaluations and advice on movement allowed me to progress through ever more demanding physical tasks at just the right pace for a quick recovery.

It's the whole Rebound organization that makes the orthopedic experience wonderful and takes much of the anxiety out of having major surgery. I can't say enough good things about the core people involved in my care: Dr. Southerland, Joel Phillips (PA) and Mike Colby (PT).

I had a total knee replacement just over a year ago. Dr. Southerland and his PA, Joel Phillips, were wonderful. Shortly after surgery I had 120 degrees of flexion. Despite going to PT and being dedicated in rehab at home, my flexion suddenly became only 70. I was quickly scheduled for manipulation surgery with Dr. Southerland and have maintained a decent range of motion. At three months I was SUPing, playing tennis and even windsurfed again. It is amazing to me that I can be so active and not experience pain! At 40 I had ACL reconstruction and four subsequent surgeries. For 28 years I put up with my knee always aching after playing tennis and windsurfing. What a joy it is to enjoy being active and not have to be in pain!!!

I saw Dr. Southerland in February of 2015. I had had severe hip pain for the prior year. I had had multiple bilaterial knee surgeries over the prior 20 years. Dr. Southerland replaced both my hips and both my knees starting in April and ending in December. All four joints replaced in eight months. My world changed. I recently hiked three different falls on the big Island of Hawaii, yesterday I did 9000 steps on the stair master at the gym. Prior to my surgeries, I could barely walk to the bathroom. Dr. Southerland is so wonderful and I am so grateful that he took me on as a patient. I have had four prior orthopedic surgeons, without doubt Dr. Southerland is the best! Thank you Dr. Southerland.... you ROCK!

I have worked with these doctors and they are caring and professional. I like Dr. Southerland the best because he is not only a great ortho doctor but he is approachable and easy to work with.

Thanks to Dr. Southerland and his staff. I now have two new knees which I had replaced at the same time. I now can kneel, walk, ride my bike, do yard work and much much more! I would love to share my recovery and tips with other candidates for knee replacements. Again a BIG thank again you to all who helped me achieve the active lifestyle I now have.
