Dr. Kenneth B Hawthorne, MD

My knee replacement went perfectly. Very little pain. The incision healed and barely noticeable 6 months later. Physical therapy advanced my progress ahead of schedule. I am completely satisfied with my results. One year ago I couldn't walk without a walker and a great deal of pain.

He replaced my left knee. It was done as out patient. Had no problems was back at most of the things I do in just a few weeks. Now a little over a year it is like I never had it done, no pain, I'm doing all the things I use to do and have a 145 degree bend. I would highly recommend DR Hawthorne. I worked hard at the gym before and after surgery along with the therapy. I'm 73 yo

Dr. Hawthorne replaced my right knee and today I am completely pain free. He explains what the cause of the pain is and how to correct it. At that point he allows the patient to decide if they want to proceed or not. I felt very confident in his ability as knew of others who had him for the same procedure and how satisfied they were. He came highly recommended. I am so glad I did!

Dr. Hawthorne is a superior orthopedic surgeon. He did a total knee replacement on me and everything went without a hitch. He and his staff are highly professional and caring. They have a positive and reassuring attitude.

Dr. Hawthorne replaced my left knee. I am better then new! He carefully explained everything from start to finish. I know people who went to other doctors and did not have the positive results that I had. I strongly recommend Dr. Hawthorne!!!

OUTSTANDING!! From the moment I met Dr. Hawthorne, to my latest follow-up appointment, EVERYthing about this operation, (pun intended), has been EXCEPTIONAL!!! Having had right knee replacement in 2013, I dreaded having my left done. My previous experience, performed in Orlando, was one of the worst physical situations I’ve ever been through. But WOW!!! What a difference with Dr. Hawthorne. I was taking steps before I even left the hospital!! I went home right away – no overnight stay – where I was met by Physical Therapy. My nurse came the following day. Even my pain level was far more tolerable, compared to the right knee. I was amazed at how I could endure the pain and use the walker for short trips around my kitchen island, by day 2! My last recovery stole so much time from me, but with this one, I am walking without a cane, and have only occasional discomfort: all within 4 months. (And while everyone heals at different rates, and 4 months may seem like a long time for some, I… healed in half the time of my first surgery.) A few of the other reviews state that Dr. Hawthorne does not “spend enough time” with his patients. My experience is that Dr. Hawthorne values my time, as well as his other patient’s time. You won’t sit in the waiting room for hours! During my first visit, after we looked at my bone-on-bone X-ray, he frankly just asked me what I wanted to do about my situation. Living with years of pain had me reply, “Yes” to a replacement. What else was there to discuss?? I’m sure if I had doubts or questions, he would have answered them. But even though Dr. Hawthorne is no-nonsense, he’s very kind, and truly has his patients’ best interest at heart. From his reception staff, to Cheyenne, to the anesthesiologist, to the Advent Health surgical team, this entire process has been nothing less than a God send to me. I think Dr. Kenneth Hawthorne is AWESOME, gifted, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him!

Dr Hawthorne and his team, both surgical and office staff are excellent and I would highly recommend him/ them for any orthopedic surgery!

Always the best care.

Dr. Hawthorne has provided an excellent experience, and top-notch surgery. I have had two knees done, and before, It was extremely painful to walk and stand. Since the surgery and recovery, I am completely pain free and able to walk and stand without any problems. I can not say enough good things about Dr. Hawthorne and his care. The best!

He’s replaced both knees and repaired my rotator cuff over the last 7 years. He and his staff are amazing. When I’ve had issues they were always able to see me right away. Both he and his staff have always been there to answer questions, sometimes his responses are brief but always on point and truthful. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for orthopedic surgery.
