I am officially 9mo. post op from my TKR that Dr. Thomas Gautsch did for me last October 0f 2025!
I would have to admit that my recovery was not fast like some are, however, my recovery took every bit of patience, endurance, and listening to my Physical Therapist, Amy at Dr. Gautsch's Clinic. I have stayed very consistent with my exercises that I was given thus far. I had to preserve when I thought I just could not.
Today , I can say, I am so grateful for Dr. Gautsch and his expertise in this minimally invasive technique that he has literally mastered! Dr. Gautsch also has incredible staff with Nurse Ashley, and the girls in the front office and my incredible, patient, caring PT Amy!
The care that the office team gives is loving, highly knowledgeable and encouraging!
My story is that I have had bone on bone knee pain and discomfort for long over 15 plus years. I kept active and suffered at night.
I lived on over the counter NSAID's and finally went to a daily prescription to manage the discomfort. If you're reading this you know what I am talking about!
When I met with Dr. Gautsch he completely understood my situation!
He was very easy to discuss my future with and how I would love to have an active life again! I have 5 grandchildren that are under the age of 8 and it was becoming debilitating to keep up. Going to the Zoo sounded like torture to have to walk and I surely didn't want that any more!
He explained the surgical procedure with my husband and I and made it all very easy to understand!
I did do all of my PT at the Southern Sports Clinic there at his office and I am so grateful I did!
I have to say a huge THANK YOU to my precious husband and our family plus our friends , as this was everyone's involvement to get me going after surgery. My family would help me bend to achieve my range of motion and CHEER me on! My Grandchildren would help my with my exercise's! I had a huge amount of support! Thank team!
Today, I can walk miles! I finally can golf and go all day on my feet with out the pain and discomfort I had literally experienced for years and years.
Thank you Dr. Gautsch for helping me get LIFE BACK!
I would encourage all that have TKR Dr. Gautcsh knows exactly what his is doing and has done thousands upon thousands of TKR's and I am one very Grateful gal! read more
