Several things stood out about my experience with Dr. Kennon/New England Orthopaedics: 1. Dr. Kennon listens; he is not dismissive nor does he push a decision one way or another 2. I got to see a doctor (who listens!!) at the onset instead of a PA then a doctor 3. Dr Kennon provides a great book explaining both hip and knee replacements 4. The entire process is tightly choreographed, explained and accompanying literature is always provided 5. Personally, I love that he is a Mechanical Engineer by college education-- the hips and knees are all about weights and bearings! 6. Lighthouse Surgical Center provided an optimal experience (if surgery could be considered an optimal experience!) I would recommend Dr. Kennon in a heartbeat!
