It’s always comforting to know that you are in good hands. That’s why we thought you'd appreciate hearing about the experiences of some of our patients.

"Dr. Sean Toomey, in June you replaced my messy right hip. I know it wasn't easy and I just wanted to thank you for all that you did. To have no more pain in my hip is terrific and to have legs of equal length is exhilarating. I unexpectedly feel so much better about myself and for that I am truly grateful. You are a gifted surgeon and I know I am a beneficiary of many years of hard work that you have committed to your profession."

— Jill from Tenino

"Both Wayne and Dr. Crutcher took such good care of me. I had my hip replaced at Swedish. I was nervous but they explained exactly what was going to happen, how I needed to prepare my house, how much pain to expect and what exercises to do. You have to learn how to sit and stand a little differently and everyone was very kind and patient with me. I should have done this earlier, I feel so much better."

— Mrs. Newell from Seattle

"Dr. Toomey saved my life, or at least my hip. I feel great. I was back to my normal self in like 7 weeks. And Bonnie was so great. Checked up on me and made sure I was feeling okay. I really appreciate it. Keep up the good work!"

— Joe from Bellevue

"Thanks to the bilateral hip revisions done by Dr. Winquist in '03, I've resumed an active life and am looking forward to an early retirement filled with cross-country skiing, kayaking, hiking and horseback riding. Dr. Winquist made the whole process easy and smooth, from the initial appointment to the aftercare. The staff at Swedish was outstanding too. I encourage anyone whose life is affected by severe, chronic joint pain to have joint replacement surgeries if appropriate, and to have them at Swedish under Dr. Winquist and his team. Don't needlessly postpone a better life!"

— Jan M. in Seattle

" I recently had my knee revised last January. The experience couldn't have gone better thanks to Dr. Crutcher and his assistant Wayne. I know all the docs there and they are all wonderful! You couldn't go with a better crew if you need orthopedic surgery, trust me, they have now done over 6 of my total joint replacements. If you have the need, Orthopedic Physicians is the place to go!!!"
