Front Desk Manager at the Best Western Pocono Inn Stroudshu rg, PA “They're doing great things with joint replacement at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Believe me, I know firsthand. Dr. David Kolessar— one of their bone and joint specialists—has replaced both of my knees and one of my elbow joints. I've also had two pins placed in my left foot. After raising four children by myself and often working 70 hours a week as a waitress, my joints took a real beating. It's no wonder that I suffered in pain for years. When Dr. Kolessar told me I could significantly reduce my pain by having joint replacement surgery, I didn't think twice. Now, I do have aches occasionally, but the pain is gone. My kids tell me I'm a different person. I went to Geisinger because I knew they had the best doctors. I was right.” Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center Heal. Teach. Discover. Serve.
