I am so pleased to have met Dr LaReau. He has given me my life back.

I now have my new knee and it is an amazing piece of equipment. Though still working on rehab, I’m able to walk pain free and virtually unassisted. I will be able to walk up and down stairs properly for the first time in 10 years. My progress is amazing to me afte…

To all of you considering Total hip replacement surgery: My hip replacement surgery by Dr. Justin LaReau on Sept. 26, 2012 was unbelievable. Having had my right hip replaced 18 years ago, I expected the left hip to involve days in the hospital and a painful recovery.

I was walking the next day and needed minimal physical therapy. Dr. LaRe…

70 Year Old Left Anterior Total Hip Arthoplasty

At age 70, after habitually walking four or more miles each day for many years, I experienced such severe difficulty in mobility that I had to rely on a cane and eventually a walker for even limited room to room movements. Dr. LaReau was highly recommended to me by a teacher colleague of my wife, based on the success Dr. LaReau demonstrated in restoring the full mobility of that colleague’s 87-year-old mother. It is now two weeks since Dr. LaReau completed the second of my two hip replac…

Mike and Judy Carroll, Glen Ellyn, Illinois

Dr. LaReau is a very skilled, dedicated, compassionate and caring Orthopedic surgeon. Because of my mis-diagnosis, I was given a cortisone shot. Since they were treating a non existing problem, it did no good. After seeing another Orthopedic surgeon, I was diagnosed in need of a complete hip replacement. However, because of the cortisone shot, the surgeon would not operate until 6 months after the shot was administered. During the six months the pain increased steadily. My pain becam…
