Dr. Evanich did an outstanding job on my knee replacement. I have recommended him to several friends. If I have to have the other knee replaced, He will be the one performing the surgery.
Gina M.
Dr. Evanich as well as his Assistant and nursing staff were all able to answer any questions that I might have and even answered the “what if” questions that I had. Didn’t necessarily like the fact that I need surgery but am very relaxed in the fact that Dr. Evanich will be doing it. Very friendly office.
Carrie M.
Dr. Evanich performed a total knee arthroplasty (replacement) on my right knee, and the result has been miraculous! After years of limping and pain, including frequent stabbing pains coming from 3 different areas of my knee joint, 6 weeks after surgery I am now limp-free
Michelle
What can I say, but I have, and would again, put my life in [Dr. Evanich’s] hands. He saved me from being wheelchair bound for the remainder of my life. I truly believe that God guides his hands. Thank you Doctor for you and your wonderful staff.
Wanda H.
Dr. Evanich performed a total knee replacement on me. As far as I am concerned, he is the best orthopaedic surgeon I could have had. I have had no issues and am recovering well. I highly recommend him.
