I received a much-needed knee replacement in March 2025. They got me in quickly for the first appointment. I was quite surprised considering his ratings no matter where you looked did were amazing! Before surgery was performed, he referred me to do pre surgery PT, which I highly suggest doing if offered since it truly helps with the surgery itself, and Post Op. He is very knowledgeable, and the surgery itself was a success. I started post op PT 3 days after surgery. 3 sessions per week for 2 weeks and 1 session per week for 2 weeks. That was it! My therapists assigned in home PT to do yourself (which is definitely a must to return to your normal range of motion). I just had my 6 week post op yesterday, all is healing as it should. Don't believe all Google says because, it will scare you to death!! Doctor Mesko is definitely NOT like most articles you read saying there will be months of PT. Anyone that I spoke to that had used him were as happy as I am! Highly recommend!!!

This was my first contact with Dr. Mesko. Expecting the worst, I was pleasantly surprised that surgery was not needed. Dr. Mesko thoroughly reviewed my condition and recommended a ood plan.
