Watch Adam Driesman and listen to his experience while using this protocol for recovery with his patients.
Surgeon Endorsements:
-
"My patients have expressed feeling more in control of their own progress than previous surgeries, instilling a higher level of confidence and success with their outcomes."
-
"Dr. Wickline's Less Swelling, Less Pain books on hip and knee replacement have been a game-changer for my patients. They feel so much better prepared and comfortable going through the recovery process knowing what to expect and what to do. I've had less issues for patients and better outcomes since offering the books to my patients."
-
"Dr. Wickline's book is the most comprehensive and evidence based arthroplasty recovery guide available. Providing a vetted source of valuable information has helped my patients recover quicker, with less anxiety, and fewer questions. I can't recommend highly enough!"
-
"Dr. Wickline's comprehensive Less Swelling, Less Pain book has transformed my practice, with patients experiencing less edema, fewer hematomas, requiring fewer narcotics, and achieving greater range of motion earlier. The result has been more informed patients with smoother recoveries and an overwhelmingly positive patient experience!"
-
"Dr. Wickline's book is comprehensive. The patients not only benefit from the peri-operative information but many have specifically spoken on the lessons learned from the preoperative diet and exercise program. It is well written and relatable across all patient spectrums."
-
"This book has been a vital resource to my new practice. All throughout training you are taught how to operate and practice medicine. I never learned how to properly educate patients on their recovery. Patients come to me now for the proper way to recover, and my practice is booming."
-
"I dove into Dr. Wickline's book and was embarrassed that I had not been doing these things for my patients! I'd been so focused on perfecting surgical approaches & techniques to improve outcomes from the technical standpoint, that I completely ignored the most important part- the patient!Everything Dr. Wickline described in his book, made total sense to me. It was truly an epiphany."
-
"Since implementing a combination of the Wickline perioperative protocol and the next-level patient education outlined in his book, I have seen tremendous improvement in early recovery of range of motion at 2 week followup, decreased bruising and swelling, decreased pain scores, and reduction in postop narcotic usage (most get 10 pills and don't use all of them)."
-
"The Less Swelling Less Pain protocol has completely transformed my perspective on postoperative recovery in joint replacement. Patient compliance is critical for success, and nearly every one of my patients highlights the recovery book as the most valuable resource."
-
"My mentor once said 'Patients don't care how much you know, they only want to know that you care' - Dr Wickline's book is exemplary and once you give this to patients - they know you care about their recovery at the highest standards!"
