Patient Stories
Real stories from real patients who have regained their mobility and quality of life.

Greg – Joplin, MO
Procedure/Treatment: Total Anterior Hip Replacement
Before Treatment with Dr. Banwart:
I had major pain when walking and had no desire to do any activities.
I most appreciate the fact that Dr. Banwart truly cares about me and that I never wanted for anything or had to wait. I would like to thank Dr. Banwart for a pain-free, no-hassle surgery.
I am a photographer, and now I'm back to shooting and enjoying the outdoors on walks again!

Dr. Short – Racine, MO
Procedure/Treatment: Total Anterior Hip Replacement and Knee Replacement Surgery
Before Treatment at Ortho Four States:
I was in such severe pain that I would pull up to a store and realize it wasn't even worth going inside because of how much it hurt to walk.
I would like to thank Dr. Banwart for giving me my life back and saving me from being imprisoned by my pain. I am now pain-free and back to working as a veterinarian, as well as fishing, playing paintball, and working on my house and yard. Both my mother and uncle had knee replacement surgery with Dr. Banwart, so I knew before seeking treatment that I would be in good hands.
I can't express enough appreciation for the compassion and quality of care I received.
