6 years ago, I was in desperate need of a Total (left) Hip Replacement. I have a few friends in the local Medical field, so naturally, I asked them who would be the best Orthopedic Surgeon to perform my surgery ? Although several names were brought to my attention, I found that Dr. Kennard's name was mentioned every time among the others. I mean "every time". I put a call into the J B office, and right from the start, every associate focused their attention to my needs and requests. I did not feel rushed at all. From start to finish, I felt Extremely Secure. I was in the Hospital for 1 day and was released the following afternoon. I had God on my shoulder and Dr. Kennard on my hip. I will be getting my right knee done in January. Looking forward to walking again ! Thank You Dr. Kennard. 6 years later, my hip feels great !!!!! Billy Merc, (William Mercadante) Toms River, N.J.
