Billie Dewey
62 years old
Real Estate Agent & Avid Golfer
Total Knee Replacement
Billie Dewey has been an avid golfer for several years. When her knee pain became so severe that she thought she might have to give up one of her favorite activities, she decided to consider joint replacement surgery.
After talking to a friend who had a joint replacement with excellent results and meeting with her doctor, she decided to have a total left knee replacement at the Center for Joint Replacement at Pardee.
“Before my knee replacement surgery, I was in severe pain doing the activities I enjoyed most in life, like playing golf, working as a real estate agent, and playing with my grandchildren. Now, I feel wonderful and my quality of life has been restored.”

Ward
63 years old
Retired Remodeler
Total Knee Replacement
For 30 years, Ralph Ward was in the remodeling business and by the time he was ready to retire, his knees were just worn out. He wanted to be able to enjoy his retirement so he decided to consider joint replacement surgery.
After discussing it with his doctor, he made an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon who recommended that he have both knees replaced at the Center for Joint Replacement at Pardee.
“I feel 100% better now that I’ve had my total knee replacement. I couldn’t sleep well and I could barely walk or stand before my surgery, but now I can do almost anything I want- like restoring antique cars and working in the yard.”

Harley Rider
Bilateral Total Knee Replacement
After her first ride on a Harley with her husband, Meg Shepherd was hooked. Motorcycle riding became her passion and she especially loved riding in toy runs for charity. When she could no longer ride because of her knee pain, she was devastated.
She decided to talk to her orthopaedist about knee replacement surgery. After meeting with him and hearing the success stories from previous joint replacement patients, Meg chose to have both knees replaced at the Center for Joint Replacement at Pardee.
“Before my knee replacement, I was in such terrible pain that I had to give up my true passion in life- motorcycle riding with my husband. Thanks to my knee replacement, I can return to riding and I feel young again!”
