Being told that you need to have a major surgery is not what I wanted to ever hear in my lifetime.  Being told that the top surgeon in Wisconsin couldn’t do the procedure just added to my anxiety.  I was nervous about having the surgery, about what would follow and about meeting Dr. LaReau.  I am a shy person and the idea of a complete stranger operating on me was a very scary thing. In reality Dr. LaReau made me feel comfortable from the first time I  met him.  I will never forget that firs…
17 Year Old Female Right Hip Periacetabular Osteotomy
Dr. LaReau gave my life back to me when he performed the surgery to partially replace my knee.  Before the surgery, it was difficult for me to walk any distance without severe pain.  Now, thanks to Dr. LaReau, I am living my life normally once again.  From my first visit to his office to my postoperative visits, he and his staff have been wonderful.  They have been there to answer any questions and offer their support through the whole process and I can’t thank them enough.
68 Year Old Female Unicompartmental Arthroplasty Of The Right Knee
Pain-free knees help a retiree enjoy life Carol Wake did all she could to manage the pain in her right knee.

Carol's Story - Total Knee Replacement
My name is Josie and I would like to tell everyone how great Dr. LaReau is.  When I went to see Dr. LaReau I was in a lot of pain with both of my knees.  Dr. LaReau recommended knee replacements.  At that time I cried, Dr. LaReau had so much compassion and understanding.  He explained very carefully how replacements look and work.  It has been almost two years and I had both my knees completed three months apart.  They are straight, I am experiencing no pain and I am back to doing things I…

70 Year Old Left Anterior Total Hip Arthoplasty
I am so pleased to have met Dr LaReau. He has given me my life back. I had been in such pain and unable to walk unassisted for at least a couple of years because a prior knee replacement loosened and broke due to a series of issues. 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…
56 Year Old Left Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty
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…
83 Year Old Female Right Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty
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. With Dr. LaReau’s skilled hands, using the anterior approach, I was on my feet that day with virtually no pain and spent one night in the hospital.  I was walking the next day and needed minimal physical therapy.  Dr. LaRe…

16 Year Old Female with Hip Dysplasia
I thank Dr. LaReau for giving me a few more years of pain free living.  My surgery took 4 1/2 hrs. and he was still smiling when he told my wife and daughter that everything went well.  After 2 months of physical therapy–I was able to walk a mile.  Arthur W.
