MRI
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI is a way of getting pictures of various parts of your body without the use of x-rays, unlike regular x-rays pictures and CAT scans. A MRI scanner consists of a large and very strong magnet in which the patient lies. A radio wave antenna is used to send signals* to the body and then receive signals back. These returning signals are converted into pictures by a computer attached to the scanner. Pictures of almost any part of your body can be obtained at almost any particular angle.

Arthroscopy
Hip Replacement
Dr. Meisles and Chris Orvino, PA did a minimally invasive anterior hip replacement on me. I am 2 weeks post-op and am doing so much better than I was prior to surgery. I was walking the day of surgery and went home the next day, able to walk upstairs as well. I no longer have the pain I had prior to surgery. They explained everything very well to me and made me feel confident that this would allow me to be able to do the activities I used to be able to do. I didn’t have a long wait to get an appointment to see them and they were able to schedule me for surgery within a few weeks. Their staff is very friendly and their office is well-run. I highly recommend them.
Knee Replacement
That’s when I looked up Dr. Meisles. On my first visit, he thought I was a good candidate for a partial knee replacement. He explained that this was good news, as with a partial, more of my original joint would be preserved, only replacing the inside of the knee, as this was the only side that was bone on bone. He also assured me the knee would feel more like my own, I would have better flexibility, and most importantly, he predicted I would be able to resume my life passion, competitive slalom waterskiing. Now that got my attention!
