A Revolution In Joint Replacement
Outpatient Total Joint
If you’re struggling with hip, knee or shoulder pain, you know how difficult it can make your life. Simple things become a struggle – walking, climbing stairs, picking up your grandchild, even getting a good night’s sleep. It doesn’t have to be that way. There’s a revolution happening in joint replacement. Success rates are high, recovery times are low and it’s even possible to get a new knee, hip or shoulder without ever setting foot in a hospital. Here in WNY, Excelsior Orthopaedics is heading that revolution. Don’t wait any longer. Take back your life.

"Following the surgery, I went to rehab for two months and worked diligently at recovering my shoulder. And I was playing golf by the end of April. It's really strange, it's like I didn't even have an operation. It's amazing how you recover from the procedures today. As far as I'm concerned, I'm in good shape for a guy who's going to be 77."

"The combination of Dr. Slough, the trust I have in him, and the trust in the people at rehab – they are one unit, and they really work together, which I think is really important. With my Achilles? It’s like I don’t even know it was ever done, I don’t even think about it."

"Dr. Slough walked us through every step of what he would do through each procedure. The therapy continues to make the arm much more mobile, and I’m getting a lot stronger each day. Excelsior has become a part of our family, and that’s the part I love about it. They are just warm and caring."

"Once you tear your rotator cuff, you know. You lose your mobility and the pain is nonstop. But now the difference is a year later...I can't remember which shoulder I had surgery on. I'll be on the ice and forget which one I have to be careful with, because it doesn't hurt anymore."

"It really was a great experience, every time I have anybody who gets hurt with anything orthopaedic, I'm always recommending Excelsior. It's by far the best knee place I've been in the city, and I've been through quite a few. I can do things I want to do now...I can live a normal life."

"Before I couldn't write, I couldn't feed myself, I couldn't tie my shoes or empty the dishwasher. I didn't think anyone could help me. Now I can do anything like I did before, it's amazing. Just amazing."

"They casted her right there, which was nice. It was very quick. I didn't have to wait, things were run efficiently...I would hope nobody would ever have to go there, but if you do have to go for an orthopaedic problem I would recommend them to anyone."

"I play instruments plus I use a computer all day at work, so I need to use my hands a lot. I came through the surgery and did a lot of good physical therapy here, and got pretty much perfect use of my wrist now."
