I have known Dr. Bernasek over 25 years, working with him collaboratively in the design of implant and instruments for total knee replacement systems as well in the professional education of orthopaedic surgeons in the use of those knee systems. Besides being a gifted surgeon, Dr. Bernasek is extremely knowledgeable and accomplished in orthopaedic research and publishing as well as speaking to orthopaedic societies worldwide. Following my retirement to the gulf coast, it was finally time to address the increasing pain I was experiencing 45+ years following a high school football knee injury. Dr. Bernasek was the only choice for me. That was just over four years ago and I can report I'm pain free, playing tennis four to five days a week and can walk any distance pain free. Besides being a gifted surgeon who has provided me with a physically active retirement, Dr. Bernasek is a kind and caring individual. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing hip or knee pain who may be considering joint replacement surgery! read more
