I had both of my knees replaced in 7 month period. I was able to drive within 2 weeks- that’s off all pain meds! Fantastic bedside manner. Very caring and most importantly an excellent orthopedic surgeon.

One week out from hip fracture surgery and I am feeling good. Dr. Bechtold gave complete information prior to surgery and filled me in the next morning. Very satisfied.
