Patients frequently praise the practice for its friendly, efficient staff and clear communication from surgeons regarding procedures and recovery. Reviews highlight successful outcomes for knee, hip, and shoulder replacements, as well as responsive handling of post-operative questions and scheduling. However, some low-star reviews cite ongoing pain following surgery and confusion regarding unexpected out-of-pocket billing that contradicted previous verbal assurances about insurance coverage.

The entire staff, from Reception to Surgeon, were friendly, efficient, and most importantly, caring. I would recommend anyone in need of knee surgery to consider Midwest Center!
Dr Berend did a wonderful job diagnosing my Ukrainian friends knee pain. She is responding well to the steroid injection. Her pain is greatly reduced.
Excellent care and communication! Dr. Lackey is an excellent surgeon providing fantastic results concerning my knee replacement surgery! I highly recommend Dr. Lackey and Midwest Center for Joint Replacement.
I put off my knee replacement for 10 years. Finally got it done. It's only been about two weeks. Walking with a cane. The staff has been grate and answered all of my questions.
My experience was wonderful. Everyone seemed to work well together. Mandy Treadwell was so helpful working things out for that day. She even helped my PC office with the referral needed. The two Doctors , Nurse, pre-op , information person were all professional, kind and knowledgeable. I am looking forward to my surgery, so I can get back to my life! Thank you all!
Scheduling an appointment was easy and timely. The staff were welcoming and professional. The radiology staff excellent. Kelly was informative, professional and efficient. Dr. Malinzak was informative and professional. He answered all my and my wife’s questions! He clearly outlined my preoperative preparation. Scheduling my procedure painless. I felt confident in his experience and abilities.
Kurt is very knowledgeable, takes the time to answer all your questions. Explains the steps to healing and what not to do to prolong healing.
MCJR is definitely my first choice for joint replacement!!!! I have had both hips, a knee & a month ago I had a reverse shoulder replacement. I have been very pleased with this office not only because of my success with all 4 surgeries but the office wins a “gold star” in my book!!!! Their response to calls with questions & concerns & refills have been simply amazing!!!!! I would highly recommend them for any joint issue!!!!!
My husband and I were both patients at MCJR and could not have been more pleased. The entire staff is kind, compassionate and competent. We highly recommend this practice. Marna Guenin 10-13-26 Adding to the above review. My husband saw Dr. Josh Carter 6 years ago for his hip replacement of a previous hip replacement (done by another practice). The hip replacement done by Dr. Carter was complicated and very serious. The surgery by Dr. Carter was not only successful but it allowed my husband to return to umpiring baseball and softball. He is in his 80's. Dr. Carter is an amazing surgeon and an amazing person. He is kind, compassionate, explains everything so we can understand. Highly recommend Dr. Carter on MCJR Keith and Marna Guenin
