Mike suffered from chronic knee pain. He had difficulty doing his favorite things like hiking, fishing and hunting. West Valley Medical Center got Mike back on track just three weeks after surgery.

"One of the neat experiences was the fact that, the continuous ;motion machine that they put you in after knee surgery, was started the same day as surgery. And I feel that the recovery has been greatly enhanced and shortened probably because of being into that physical therapy right away.

"...The staff had the attitude of you were there as a person, not just a patient and they were concerned about your well-being."
