Szuszczewicz Edward's Online Review Report Card

I’m a complicated case and he and Charles and Becky have all gone out of there way! Thank you !!!

Didn’t have up to date info for second opinion. Didn’t have the capacity to do in office X-ray

Based on only my first visit, which went well. I felt the doc understood my problem - found the sore spot immediately. He offered 2 courses of action - I chose the least invasive to start. He might not be the best at offering info but if you ask, he does take the time to explain it. In his defense, he did seem overly busy today. I had to wait 15 minutes after my scheduled appointment time just to be taken to an exam room, where I had to wait another 25-30 minutes for an xray, and then another 5-10 minutes after that for the doc to actually examine me. His nurse was fantastic. Gave me her cell phone for if I have any questions or concerns.

He replaced my left hip in 2005. I never completely got over the pain after surgery. Two months ago (2020), my right hip was replaced by a different surgeon in Indiana. When he looked at my films, he said that Dr. S did a terrible job. The implant is poorly positioned. Leg length discrepancy was over an inch. I got a second opinion from Dr. Craig Loucks at Peak Orthopedics in Denver who also said my hip placement was out of alignment by 1 and 3/8 inches. If I had to do it again, I would choose Dr. Loucks a million times over Dr. S.

Congenital hip displasia and Perthes disease resulted in fused hip at age of 12. 3.5" difference in leg length. Fusion failed at age of 42 and I received a total hip replacement by Dr. Ed. He was able to replace the joint and reduce the leg length difference to under 1" while working with a shortened sciatic nerve. I was back to work the following week. 13 years post surgery and I have no issues, no pain, and ski, mountain bike, hike, dirt bike and play tennis as if I've always had a functioning joint. I feel he is a very creative and dedicated surgeon/craftsman.

I had the unfortunate experience of doing severe damage to both my knees although many years apart. The good thing is Dr. Ed did fantastic work. It's been close to 20 years & still going strong!

He correctly diagnosed my problem. I had inflammation and needed a steroid shot.

I had rare tumors in my knee and Dr S removed all of them and provided me with pictures that he took. He is easy to talk to and very nice. I would recommend him and plan to go back for my other knee

Dr. Ed is not just a superlative surgeon with extensive experience doing hip replacements (my particular procedure) but he is a legit human being. He's kind, patient, listens well, gives all the time you need in the consultation, has a sense of humor and really cares about the life you want and may have lost due to osteoarthritis. I was pretty emotional in our first talk, but he totally got it, that I wanted to hike again, up and down hills, be MYSELF. He's the best. 7 weeks out, no pain.

Don't allow him to do a partial knee replacement with the intent of doing a whole knee replacement. He will cause you pain!
