Resurgens Patient Returns to Active Lifestyle After Total Knee Replacement

In the fall of 2012, however, she began experiencing pain in her right knee that made those neighborhood walks and trips to the gym increasingly difficult. Over the next year, the pain quickly grew worse and worse. “It was the longest year of my life,” said Patterson. “After a while, even moving from the couch to the bathroom was painful.” At this point, Patterson knew it was time to seek medical attention for her knee.

The environmental engineer from Tucker began having trouble getting in and out of his truck. "All of a sudden I couldn't bend over to tie my shoes," Mason said. Returning home from the construction project last July, he called Resurgens Orthopaedics and set up an appointment with Dr. Lawrence A. Bircoll.

I fell off a ladder and shattered my calcaneus with displacement of the bones in my leg. Dr. Bircoll put me back together....... A plate and 10 screws. He was very direct and told me the seriousness of my injury. It has been 10 months now and I can walk without a limp. I have not developed arthritis which is a great risk for this type of injury. I honestly believed that Dr. Bircoll saved my life. I highly recommend him. He is clearly the best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. B!

I very recently had total right hip replacement surgery by Dr. Bircoll at DeKalb Medical Surgery Center. The hip replacement has been a complete success and pain that I have experienced in the hip for a long time is gone. In addition, Dr. Bircoll and his staff are outstanding. They worked very hard at each step to make sure that I understood what to do and felt comfortable. They answered questions carefully and completely. I would highly recommend Dr. Bircoll to anyone needing hip surgery.
