DR. DEREK PLAUSINIS REVIEWS

Dr Plausinis did a reverse shoulder replacement surgery following a serious injury while ice skating. He did a brilliant job for which I am extremely grateful. At six months post surgery I had recovered 95% range of motion and definitley have my life back enjoying the many sports that I love and am excited about classic x-country skiing this winter. I have his permission! Thank you Dr Plausinis. You change peoples lives.

From my initial contact to my final consultation after shoulder replacement my experience with Dr. Plausinis was exceptional! He explained the procedure from surgery to postoperative in a clear,caring and professional manner. I couldn't be happier with the results.

I found Dr. Plausinis to be a top notch surgeon. After having both shoulders replaced I am so pleased to be free of pain and I now have most of my mobility back. Thank you Dr. Plausinis.

After suffering from intense shoulder pain for many years Dr Plausinis performed a complete shoulder replacement. I am know 4 months post surgery and cannot be more happy with my outcome. I am in no more pain and have almost full range of motion. I am so thankful for his skill and dedication. - TC Reply

I was referred to Dr. Plausinis after 7+ years of living with and trying to manage shoulder pain and limited range of motion. He was very thorough in explaining my condition, what could be done surgically, a detailed description of the procedure and the recovery. He is very approachable, down to earth and an expert in a reverse total shoulder replacement. The surgery prep was well documented for me to follow, the surgery went well and my recovery was excellent thanks to his guidance and the physiotherapy at KGH Rehab. His skill at neatly “sewing up” my incision was remarkable! My incision is hardly visible at all 4 months post op. The follow up appointments were informative and I felt very “cared for” in terms of Dr.Plausinis listening to my questions and giving me realistic expectations for my total recovery. I am so happy to be out of pain and have excellent range of motion and rotation of my shoulder. - JJ
Dr. Plausinis is an very experienced and skilled surgeon. My reverse shoulder replacement procedure was a total success since I have no more pain and more range of motion than prior to the surgery. As a result, my life has been changed for the better and I would highly recommend Dr. Plausinis. Reply

DR. STEVEN KRYWULAK REVIEWS

Dr Krywaluk & his team recently replaced my right knee. Surgery is not most people's idea of a good time, but they made it as pleasant as possible. My new knee is working great and I won't hesitate to have the other one done when the time comes. Great service & a great team - I highly recommend Dr Krywaluk.

Wow none of this wait ten years crap....was referred and done within a few days....I'd recommend him to everyone....no bs...no paperwork shuffle...thumbs up all the way around...after 20 years of pain I can finally move my leg like it was ment to.

Dr. Krywulak performed 2 knee replacements on me, both excellent. I am so pleased with the surgeries he performed. He is by far one of the best surgeons in the province. His peronal at the front desk Shelley is amazing, so helpful. Thankyou so much.

DR. MICHAEL BRIDGE REVIEWS

I had only spoken to Dr Bridge on the phone prior to my surgery. I was referred by my family physician. He was professional and friendly. When I met him yesterday prior to my surgery he was running behind because of a high volume of extra surgeries (they had to postpone that day, I thought mine might be as well).he was professional friendly and had a great beside manner taking time to put me at ease and answer my questions in easily understood terms. So far it only being the day after the surgery I have experienced no pain or much discomfort. We will see how it progresses but so far absolute kudos.

Dr Bridge did a right foot reconstruction. I am in 4 weeks after surgery, the ache was not bad ... tylenol helped me a lot. I followed all the medical instructions and the incisions are healing nicely and my foot seems to be aligned and straight. I recommand Dr Bridge in a heart beat.

He was an excellent communicator and let me know what to expect from my bunion surgery. He took time to answer my questions and was very knowledgeable.
