Grateful for Dr. Helen Wong
Two years-ago Francine Hagadorn was in so much pain she could barely walk. She could not attend any of her grandchildren’s functions that required walking any distance. She used a scooter to get around as best she could. “The pain was debilitating. I had to sit and watch my husband play with my grandchildren. I felt like an observer, not a participant,” said Francine.
Francine knew she wanted much more out of life, so she contacted Dr. Helen Wong, board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, at Interlakes Orthopaedic Surgery. “I can’t say enough about Dr. Wong. She is an amazing surgeon. I had a total hip replacement and then 10 months later a total knee replacement,” said Francine. “You could not ask for a better surgeon than Dr. Wong.”
After both surgeries, Francine was cared for at Geneva General Hospital. “The staff was very caring, compassionate and attentive to all of my needs. They helped get me up, dressed and walking the next day,” said Francine. “The therapy at Geneva General Hospital was very beneficial and it really prepared me for successful rehabilitation.”
Now Francine feels fantastic and so happy to be able to participate in her family’s fun activities. “It felt great to be able to go with my granddaughter on a field trip walking around on a farm,” said Francine.
