“I was helpless, but now I can do all the things I used to.” Before undergoing a full knee replacement, Pam Walters’ mobility was significantly reduced. “I couldn’t work. I couldn’t walk on it. After the knee replacement, I can stand up for hours, I can run, I can ride a bicycle, and I can dance again. I love to dance. I feel like a whole new person.” Pam is quick to recommend Dr. Conley and Edisto Orthopedics and Sports Medicine to family and friends. “He saved my life.” Edisto Orthopedics and Sports Medicine is located at 120 Medical Park Drive.
