I saw Dr. Southerland in February of 2015. I had had severe hip pain for the prior year. I had had multiple bilaterial knee surgeries over the prior 20 years. Dr. Southerland replaced both my hips and both my knees starting in April and ending in December. All four joints replaced in eight months. My world changed. I recently hiked three different falls on the big Island of Hawaii, yesterday I did 9000 steps on the stair master at the gym. Prior to my surgeries, I could barely walk to the bathroom. Dr. Southerland is so wonderful and I am so grateful that he took me on as a patient. I have had four prior orthopedic surgeons, without doubt Dr. Southerland is the best! Thank you Dr. Southerland.... you ROCK!

I have worked with these doctors and they are caring and professional. I like Dr. Southerland the best because he is not only a great ortho doctor but he is approachable and easy to work with.

I had a total knee replacement just over a year ago. Dr. Southerland and his PA, Joel Phillips, were wonderful. Shortly after surgery I had 120 degrees of flexion. Despite going to PT and being dedicated in rehab at home, my flexion suddenly became only 70. I was quickly scheduled for manipulation surgery with Dr. Southerland and have maintained a decent range of motion. At three months I was SUPing, playing tennis and even windsurfed again. It is amazing to me that I can be so active and not experience pain! At 40 I had ACL reconstruction and four subsequent surgeries. For 28 years I put up with my knee always aching after playing tennis and windsurfing. What a joy it is to enjoy being active and not have to be in pain!!!

Thanks to Dr. Southerland and his staff. I now have two new knees which I had replaced at the same time. I now can kneel, walk, ride my bike, do yard work and much much more! I would love to share my recovery and tips with other candidates for knee replacements. Again a BIG thank again you to all who helped me achieve the active lifestyle I now have.

I had my left knee replaced at 51 due to a college soccer injury. I was told when I was 27 that I would someday need a total knee replacement. I waited many years until the process was perfected and they lasted.

Being sports minded, I wanted a physician who worked on athletes and my research led me to Dr. Roberts.

It's been four years and the recent check up showed the knee is still in great shape, after:

3 - Seattle to Portland Bike Rides
1 - 110 Mile back packing trip with the scouts
6750 Miles total biking
1 - 11 day expedition Into the Grand Canyon

Get your self fixed and engage life!
