Chronic pain can change how you live, work, and connect with family. Anthony Smith knows this journey well. With help from Jonathan G. Yerasimides, M.D., a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in total hip replacement and revision hip replacement at Louisville Hip and Knee Institute, Anthony found relief and returned to an active life.
When Pain Takes Over
Pain affected every part of Anthony’s daily life, especially time with his children. “I was angry all the time because I hurt,” he said. “I couldn’t do anything with my kids. What kind of dad was I going to be?”
Hope for Recovery
Everything changed when Anthony met Dr. Yerasimides. “He told me, ‘I’m going to have you running again,'” Anthony remembered. At first, this seemed hard to believe. But Dr. Yerasimides kept his word.
After surgery and recovery, Anthony could move freely again. “I’ve jumped through the yard,” he said with joy. “I never thought I’d live without pain again.”
Care That Makes a Difference
At Louisville Hip and Knee Institute, Anthony and his wife Rachel found more than medical treatment. The staff welcomed them warmly and took time to address their concerns. “Everyone is smiling, and the time they spend with their patients is incredible,” Rachel shared.
Moving Forward
Anthony’s recovery shows what’s possible with the right care. Dr. Yerasimides and the team at Louisville Hip and Knee Institute help patients return to activities they enjoy through expert treatment and personal attention.
