Since undergoing total knee replacement surgery in May 2021, Terry Underwood has reclaimed the active lifestyle he once enjoyed.
“It truly gave me my life back,” Underwood shared. “Before the surgery, I could barely leave my house. Now, I’m traveling again and singing in the church choir. I feel fulfilled.”
At just 62, Underwood was walking with a cane and feeling far older than his age. Retirement wasn’t what he had imagined—until his surgery changed everything.
“Today, I walk without pain and enjoy the things we love most—like camping and hiking,” he said.
Underwood received care from Dr. Michael Veale at Starr Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, and he couldn’t be more grateful.
“I would absolutely recommend Dr. Veale to anyone in need of an orthopedic specialist,” he said. “The care he provides is personal. He remembers who you are—you’re not just a number. My wife and I truly appreciate that.”
