“Whenever I extended my arm, even after a night of sleeping, I would experience a great deal of pain. My wife suggested the orthopedic department at Reid Hospital, so I scheduled an appointment. After an examination, my physician recommended rotator cuff surgery, which he performed on July 23, 2008. Three weeks after surgery, I was progressing better than anyone expected. Today, I’ve returned to my job, doing yard work and farm work without any pain at all! I trust Reid Orthopedics!”
Richard Whistler, Greensfork, Indiana. Rotator Cuff Repair
“When my sisters began noticing how difficult walking had become for me, I knew it was time to do something. My sisters encouraged me to visit Reid Hospital. During my first visit, following an MRI exam, the orthopedic physician determined that I had severe arthritis, bone on bone, and needed surgery. My physician performed a total knee procedure on November 3, 2008. After surgery and rehabilitation everyone was surprised that I was moving around again so quickly, including me! Now I can walk without pain, and go shopping again. I trust Reid Orthopedics!”
Delores Kidd, Richmond, Indiana. Total Knee Replacement

1. What is an orthopedic surgeon?
An orthopedic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, muscles and any related painful conditions.
2. What is a physician assistant (PA)?
Physician assistants (PAs) are licensed healthcare professionals who practice medicine with physician supervision. As part of the physician/PA team, PAs diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries. They deliver a broad range of medical and surgical services to diverse populations in both rural and urban settings throughout the United States. Their focus is patient care, which may include education, research and administrative activities. PAs can treat patients and can write prescriptions when the physician is away from the practice.
3. What is a physiatrist (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Specialist)?
A physiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in the nonsurgical treatment of the musculoskeletal system, including neurological studies.
4. What is arthroscopic surgery?
Arthroscopic surgery is a modern method of performing surgery inside the joint through very small incisions. The incisions are usually about a quarter of an inch in length with two or three incisions per joint necessary. A video camera is attached to the end of a long, thin microscope, which is placed inside the joint. Other long, thin, frequently motorized instruments are used to perform surgery inside joints. Knees and shoulders most commonly benefit, but other joints such as ankles, hips and wrists may also be done.
5. What does the term “total joint replacement” mean?
Total joint replacement means replacing both sides of the surface of a joint. In the knee it means replacing both the thin cartilage surface on the lower joint surface, which is the tibia, and the upper joint surface which is the femur. Also, the joint surface under the kneecap is replaced. This requires removing the thin cartilage surface and a thin surface of bone for replacement with a metal and plastic surface. This allows all movement of the joint to occur between the metal and plastic parts rather than the raw bone often left by arthritis.
6. What should I bring to my appointment?
Your insurance card or other health coverage information. *Please be aware that many insurance carriers require you to have a referral (authorization from your primary care physician) before treatment is provided by a specialist, such as an orthopedist. Please check with your insurance carrier if you have any questions about your plan.
- List of prescription medications including doses and how often you take them
- Referral form if required by your health insurance plan
- Any X-rays or MRIs that have been taken (not older than six months old)
- Clinic notes or operative reports from your referring physician (that relate to the condition for which you are seeking medical consultation from our physician)
- Should you have any general questions prior to your visit, please feel free to contact us at 877-935-8905 and we will be happy to assist you.
7. What do I do if I need my physician after hours?
Emergencies arise occasionally when our patients need to contact our physicians regarding pain or other symptoms. Our clinic always has physicians “on call” in case of after-hours emergencies.

8. How do I get medical records?
If you need to request medical records from one of our offices, please be aware that it could take several business days for you to receive your records. We will make every effort to fulfill all medical records requests as quickly as possible. Please contact us at 877-935-8905 to request a copy of your medical records or should you have any questions regarding your medical records.
9. What do I need to know if I need surgery?
Your physician will provide detailed information about when to arrive at the hospital and what to expect after your surgery has been completed. When packing your bags to go to the hospital, remember to pack the following:
- Any specific, individualized instructions/information provided to you by your physician
- A complete list of all prescribed and nonprescription medications that you are taking
- Loose, comfortable clothing (including shorts)
- Athletic or walking shoes
- Insurance/Workers’ Compensation information

10. How do I refill a medication prescription?
