“The knee is like new; my leg is straight; my now straight foot no longer hurts; all of which makes such a difference in my confidence and general well being. I am so grateful for Dr. Firestone’s surgical competence which was necessary for the good outcome, and I am pleased to tell everyone about this wonderful doctor.”

“Dr. Firestone and his staff are truly professionals. Whenever I would call the office with questions or needs they answered quickly and I had no problems. I don’t think my knee was any easy operation. Dr. Firestone’s skills and follow up were phenomenal and I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a knee or hip replacement. Now, I’m working my way back to walking 8 miles a day for my upcoming hike at Glacier National Park 6 weeks from today and I know this would not be possible without the help and skill of Dr. Firestone!”
