I had a knee injury back in July of 2010. My wife scheduled an appointment while I was out of town on a youth mission trip with our church. My knee was hurting before I left but during that week the swelling and pain just got worse. My appointment was scheduled promptly but I was in so much pain on the Friday that we returned that I went on to the emergency room at Nassau Baptist.
Now, I know that they did what they could and diagnosed this knee problem as bursitis and gave me a week supply of pain medicine. When arriving to J.O.I., I was in a full leg brace and a lot of pain. After meeting Kevin, he ordered one more x-ray. He was very sure I had a torn meniscus in my knee. I explained to Kevin that I was in a lot of pain and only had a limited supply of pain medicine. Kevin was very truthful in his expertise of how to handle this injury and we tried to strengthen the muscles and decrease the inflammation with physical therapy. I followed Kevin’s expertise and as he directed after continuing to have discomvoft, I took the option of an MRI to get a further review of the extent of damage. Kevin was right on, a torn meniscus.
I made the choice to go ahead and have the surgery to get things cleaned up inside the knee. I asked Kevin if he could do the surgery toward the end of the year because it is our slow time for business. I was just amazed at the professionalism that I received throughout all of JOI. Kevin’s nurse is superb and all of the operative staff was just sensational. Kevin really treated me as his patient, providing me with, I believe, all of his expertise, training, and knowledge. I was just really surprised when I heard from JOI’s office to see how I was doing, wow that really made me feel special knowing that JOI was that concerned. What really surprised me was when Kevin took the time out of his day that I know is very limited at 7:00pm to see how I was doing after surgery. I was just ecstatic that Kevin called me personally to see how I was. You just don’t get that kind of concern, kindness, and professionalism too often in the medical field. I am so thankful for JOI, their staff, and what I believe to be one of the most professional, kindest, understanding doctors that I have ever met. Thank you JOI for taking the time to treat my injury and using all the tools, technology, professionalism and understanding from a patient’s point of view and allowing me to proceed through some of the decision’s made to better my health.
