Patient Testimonials

Dr Bong fixed my left knee and I've been without knee pain for years. He is a kind and talented surgeon. He has helped many of my family members I was hit by a drunk driver and when I spoke to Dr Bong he suggested I consult with Dr Johnson at OAW Once again Dr Bong helped me. I met Dr Johnson, he is fantastic. He did a L4L5 TLIF with awesome results. thank you, Dr Bong, for always taking care of me.

Dr Johnson did an L4L5 TLIF on me December 19th and by January 6th I was back to work I was hit by a drunk driver and suffered EVERY day for an entire year. The surgery has allowed me to reduce or eliminate the pain(s) I had. Thank you to Dr Johnson for being kind and doing a great job. He it has a fantastic bedside manner and the entire staff he works with are caring and talented people.

I had horrible debilitating shoulder pain. Made an appt to see PA-Julie T Skraypek. I was promptly (&on time) taken back to an exam rm. Where I had an exam, x-rays, & a cortisone shot- all in less than 45 minutes! I didn't feel rushed @all & I was treated very well. I will definitely be returning next time I need an orthopedic Dr. They know what they are doing & they do it well.

Doc! He’s my knee surgeon! I can take walks again. Couldn’t have done it without him. Thank u😁

Dr Johnson and his team have changed my life! I have been living with neck pain that had worsened with time becoming unbearable. He and his team performed a C4-7 fusion and I am now with no neck pain. Thank you!

Excellent service,Dr. Davies and his staff as well as all receptionists were very friendly and courteous.
Looking forward to my next appointment.
Thank you for your service

Dr. Steiner and the team at OA did a fantastic job of repairing my rotator cuff. Post op pain was minimal and my rehab progress is excellent. The Physical Therapy team is also amazing.

Doctor Johnson is a fabulous surgeon. My husband was allergic to the cleaner they used on him. Never happened before. Dr Johnson reacted quickly and my husband recovered. In addition his bedside manner was excellent and the surgery on his back was successful. I can’t say enough good things about him.

I just wanted to say what a great team you have assembled in Brookfield. They all seem to work in harmony as well as having a good sense of humor. All really important when you have MEGO (My eyes glazed over). I had some hard work to get through my total "robotic" knee replacement. Before I knew it I had graduated yesterday with a good list of exercises to work on.

A couple of special mentions:

Cassidy, aka CJ. She appears to take on the role of cheerleader for everyone she is assigned to or anyone near her. What a great motivational person. You need to clone her and if nothing else use her as an example for everyone. It truly makes a difference to have a voice pushing you on and celebrating the little and large victories.

Mac, gets you going and starts things right. He wants to make sure you get off to the right start on your road to recovery. Then he trades you off to Miranda who works you as hard as well.

I’m not quite 50 years old, but due to congenital hip dysplasia I have severe osteoarthritis. My symptoms started about 10 years ago and gradually became worse. Nothing decreased the pain - I tried physical therapy, anti-inflammatories and injections. When the possibility of having total hip replacement surgery was brought up, my initial decision was to wait a few years. But then I thought about it for a year and realized just how much of my daily life was negatively impacted. I had my right anterior hip replacement surgery in June of 2024. My procedure included needing pins and being non-weight bearing post-op for 6 weeks. Everything went well. Dr. Kelly is an exceptional surgeon and I can’t say enough about his entire care team. If you are considering surgery but are afraid of having a major surgery and the pain associated with it (I was), believe me when I say I had NO PAIN. On day three of post-op I was managing the “soreness” with Tylenol. I wish I would ha...

I had lower back surgery in July. Dr Nolte is just FANTASTIC. He listens and cares about any concerns you may have. He completely fixed me. I went from such awful pain to no pain, starting from the same day surgery was done. You have healing pain, but that’s no big deal compared to before surgery. I am 12 weeks out from surgery. I feel great. No pain. Trust the healing process. Dr Nolte even called me the night before surgery. That meant a lot. Dr Nolte will take the BEST care of you.

Had a total knee replacement in August and in 3 weeks was walking unassisted. Dr. Schneider and his team are EXCELLENT! Professional,caring, and responsive. Am recommending him to everyone I know who is having knee or hip issues.

Had to wait 2.5 months to see an Ortho through Froedtert, was able to get into OAW the following week and have my hip surgery before my first appointment with Froedtert! Dr. Schneider and staff are amazing - the practice is so efficiently run and there are smiles everywhere. My first major surgery and OAW put me at ease.

I had a total left knee replacement July 8 2024. I was referred to Dr . Kelly from my other doctor. First we tried the gel shots a series of three. Those did not work so Dr. Kelly suggested I get knee replacement surgery. I am so happy I did. The first few days were rough and I used a walker. Then for the next couple weeks I used a cane. I am
Now in my 5th week and I am no longer using the cane. I go to PT twice a week and my range of motion is almost (116) to where it should be. Dr. Kelly is an amazing doctor/surgeon. You can really tell he cares about his patients. I highly recommended him. In the future i will be needing my right knee done and I will most definitely chose Dr.Kelly

I had my first hip replacement by another surgeon in 2010. I developed a stabbing pain down the outside of my leg within a few years after the replacement, but after many visits to other orthopaedic doctors, none of them were able to determine the cause or resolve the issue. Finally, in 2018, I met Dr. Bong, and I believe that it was just his experience and instincts that suggested to him that the underlying problem was metallosis caused by the metal-on-metal prosthetic device implanted in my initial surgery. It pretty much destroyed the tissue in my entire left leg. Dr. Bong replaced the head of the joint, and fortunately, I was able to recover a good portion of my muscle tissue in the following couple of years. I am so grateful to have had the expertise and precision of Dr. Bong. And, he is a great guy! Thank you!

When you have one surgery and it was a flop. And thought no one cared if it didn't work or check to see what was wrong. I was pleasantly surprised by the OAW Physical Therapy department and Dr. Rick Papandrea and his team. OUTSTANDING! He was so interested in getting my arm fixed and moving again. He really listened and came up with a plan. I have never experienced a doctor who took the time to call or see me. He repaired my arm and shoulder. I would highly recommend him as a surgeon and a doctor with great vision and follow through. Also, the Physical therapy department was outstanding as well. I would have never been in contact with Dr. Papandrea if it wasn't for them.

And a shout out to Nickolas Kriesel, Dr. Papandrea's PA. Who was another great asset to his staff. He was pleasant and also had a great ear to listen and really believe in what I was telling him. "Thank You Nick",

Thank you to Rick Papandrea and the Physical therapy departmen...

It is rare to find a surgeon whose talent and ability are COUPLED with the most amazing kindness and empathy for his patients. Thank you Dr. Klement, for being such an integral part of helping me change my life so that I can get better one day at a time! Total knee replacement 4/22/24 that could not have gone better; now onto hip replacement 8/14/24.

I had a total knee replacement in early April 2024. I had heard from several friends how painful and problematic their knee surgeries had been, consequently I anticipated a painful and extensive recovery period.
Dr. Kelly performed my surgery and my recovery went smoothly and with minimal pain or discomfort! I was amazed that it went so well and am extremely thankful for his expertise. I was able to walk without assistance in late May at Festa Italiana and at all other outdoor activities! I would recommend him to anyone who needs a knee replacement! Thank you Dr. Kelly and your team of physical therapists!

I was so happy with the care and treatment I received from Dr. Kelly over the last two years. I was reluctant to have knee surgery, and he allowed me to try alternatives first before taking that step. I never felt any pressure during the process. Eventually I decided surgery was necessary, and he provided me all of the support and information I needed...both before and after the surgery. The personalized texts were so helpful in preparation and recovery. Everything went smoothly and my recovery was just amazing. Thank you so much for your excellent care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kelly!

I completed hand therapy with Janice Rasmussen after surgery. Janice was terrific, top notch, and up to speed with the latest treatment plans. My hand feels terrific after a complicated surgery, would recommend Janice to anyone! Thank you!
