Success Stories
Just four weeks after my right hip was replaced, I was able to bike the Cades Cove Loop and it felt great! At my four-week evaluation after my hip replacement surgery, Dr. Nadaud said I was able to ride a bicycle again. I rode the 11-mile loop at Cades Cove in the Smokies. Dr. Nadaud was right, and it felt great to bike the loop!
Success Stories
Partial knee replacement put positivity back into my life. I’m an avid hiker, and in June 2022, I had tightness, swelling and pain in my knee after a hike. When fluid removal and medication were unsuccessful, I scheduled surgery for October 2023. The KOC team fully prepared me and were friendly and professional. Dr. Matthew Nadaud told me that I would return to hiking, a great morale booster. I completed physical therapy and in February 2024 hiked 9 miles through the most rugged terrain in Frozen Head State Park. It took limping around for months before coming to grips with the reality that I needed surgery, so I urge you to not wait to get the help that can improve your life!
Success Stories
We are active seniors who have had six joint replacements in the past two years, all performed by Dr. Matthew Nadaud, who came highly recommended by friends. In the fall of 2021, Lonnie had both hips replaced and Charlotte had a knee replaced. By December, we were able to stand and pack shoe boxes all day for Operation Christmas Child. Two more surgeries came a year later, and we took a 12-day trip to Israel that December. Since then, we’ve logged thousands of RV, kayak and bike miles. The last surgery in December 2023 was Charlotte’s hip replacement. We are extremely pleased with the staff at KOC and the surgical center and highly recommend Dr. Nadaud. Thank you for giving us pain-free years to make memories!
Success Stories
9 weeks after my total hip replacement by Dr. Nadaud, I climbed Katahdin, the iconic north terminus of the Appalachian Trail. I was concerned that this year would the first time since 1957 that I wouldn’t get to repeat this climb. Dr. Nadaud encouraged me to give it a go, and his recommendation was well grounded. I made the 4.4 mile hike, climbing through around 4000 feet elevation gain, with no discomfort from my right hip. Big thanks to Dr. Nadaud and his crew for helping me maintain the level of activity that I crave!
