Ever since having my son, my wrists and thumbs have been killing me. Come to find out this is a…read morecommon condition that can happen after picking up an ever-growing baby over and over again. I had gotten injections in my wrists earlier in the summer, but as Dr. Fehrenbacher warned, the pain could come back. And it did in my right hand. So I made a follow-up appointment at this office to see him again. I was in and out quickly. He made another injection in my right hand and told me to wear a brace on that hand for three weeks. Almost a month out, my wrist is pain-free. I appreciate the ease with which I booked an appointment and his guidance on how to help the pain go away. Here's hoping the pain won't come back, but if it does, I'm going to book another appointment with him.

He took a minimally invasive approach first (as he's supposed to) by giving me a steroid shot to minimize the cyst - it was too small to drain. Fast forward several months later, where a freak thing happened. My EPL - which is the tendon that controls flexion and extension of the thumb, just ruptured! This happened while I was out of town, which FREAKED me out! I called and left a VM at the office (happened at like 10pm), and Dr Blackburn called me first thing in the morning. He told me how to patch up my hand to stabilize my thumb, and got me an appointment to see him the day after I returned from my trip. He did a thorough assessment and told me I needed surgery. He said the sooner I did it the better, but it was okay to get my affairs in order first. I scheduled the surgery for 2 weeks later. Also, he was kind enough to remove the troublesome wrist cyst while he was in there fixing my thumb since I asked. I got a 2 for 1 surgery deal He made it clear that surgery is the easy part. The hard part was up to me to be compliant and go to physical therapy and do my home exercises. Because of my age he repaired my tendon pretty damn tight - it took about 3 months of physical therapy with one of his preferred therapists as well as wrist stretches I do to this day to keep things good. (I do yoga and such FYI) Because of my compliance with PT and the success of his surgery, I regained about 95-100% use of my hand. This is my dominant hand, so this is HUGE. I was fully discharged from his care at the 6mo mark, and he did tell me it will take about 12-18 months before I go back to lifting as heavy as I did for an hour straight (but he also said anyone lifting for an hour would get tired) I am so grateful for the surgery and after care being a success, because the thought of not having my dominant hand is pretty devastating. Anytime anyone says they need hand surgery, I always tell them to check out Blackburn with Louisville Arm and Hand. And for Physical Therapy, check out Kelly with Kort PT near Norton Brownsboro Hospital!

I could have sung the praises of Dr Brown through the years but I wanted to wait until I actually experienced his expertise in Total Knee Replacement surgery. I have needed knee replacement surgery for years but for a variety of reasons the timing was never right. Thirty years ago when I lived in California the problem the doctor identified was I was just TOO young to be a candidate for surgery. Twenty-five years ago after moving to the Louisville KY area I got started at a different orthopedic doctor's office and was told that other than knee injections there was no other option due to metal allergies that included titanium , cobalt and nickel. Injections in my knees were useless as the first day it increased the pain, the second and third day after were great, and then it was back to my original condition. Ten years ago a Physical Therapist I was being treated by mentioned Dr Brown as he had performed knee replacement surgery on the Therapist's mother. My first appointment with Dr Brown I was sold that I finally had found the correct professional. Upon arriving for my appointment a full set of x-rays on both knees were taken. Dr Brown needed no time in evaluating the x-rays and exclaimed I needed knee surgery for years. Yep, I knew that but thought I was going to lower the boom when I told him of my metal allergies. No, he had the answer. He exited the exam room and re-entered with an actual knee replacement kit (not even a sample but the actual surgical kit). Dr Brown explained that the joint would be made of Zirconium and the replacement bone could be made of polypropylene (layman's term = plastic). Great news! To proceed Dr Brown wanted additional allergy testing that was different than the standard patch testing. This allergy testing used blood to do a blood antigen test on everything that would be used during surgery such as specific cement, etc. While waiting for the results I promised Dr Brown I would work on losing some weight as it would be helpful in the overall surgery process. I also agreed to work on warm water physical therapy to be in the best condition possible for surgery and recovery. Based on my knee conditions Dr Brown wanted to replace the right knee first. Fast forward several years and my left knee was in HORRIBLE condition and I couldn't stand on the left knee/leg at all. Unfortunately that emergency appointment was with Dr Brown's APRN Craig. Oops, Craig found an additional problem and called Dr Brown in for a consult. No surgery could not happen. Dr Brown explained that with a pulse of 32 he couldn't do surgery. He instructed me to work with my Cardiologist to get a pace maker and then he would consider Knee Replacement Surgery. This review will not go into all the trials and tribulations of getting a pacemaker other than to say it took YEARS! In the meantime I made another appointment with Dr Brown because I thought I was having right hip problems. Dr Brown was so on top of things he immediately could say the problem is not your hip but appears to be a back problem. He ordered an MRI that confirmed exactly what he thought. From that information he said DO NOT CONSIDER BACK SURGERY but referred me to pain management. Finally back to June 2025. I had left Total Knee Replacement by Dr Brown. He requires all patients take a webinar class prior to surgery so you know exactly what to expect. In my final appointment with him prior to surgery he warned me I was in End Stage Osteoarthritis and that the surgery was not going to be a breeze. Together understanding the condition, the allergies, etc. he would do his best to avoid problems. I had total faith in him and experienced fantastic surgery and outcome. If you need an excellent orthopedic doctor for knee replacement or hip replacement Dr Brown is my recommendation!

I had waited way too long and was at the point I couldn't even pick up a utensil with my right hand. He immediately arranged to have a test run on my hand nerves and scheduled me right away for surgery. The surgery was a complete success and didn't even leave a scar. Now that I am suffering from Carpal Tunnel in my left hand I knew exactly who to see. I met with Dr Blackburn this past week and opted to wait until January for the surgery. In the meantime he gave me an injection that has really helped. It's not the long term solution but I know Carpal Tunnel surgery on my left hand by Dr Blackburn will do the trick. If you have any medical need dealing with your hands Dr. Ethan Blackburn is the person to schedule an appointment with. You can thank me later.

In my case after having an MRI my Knee and Hip Orthopedic Doctor referred me to Baptist Pain Management. After a review of those results PA Shauna Wright recommended back relief with a spinal injection. Since I have upper back problems and lower back problems I got to choose which area was my first choice to relieve. I opted for the lower back relief since it remains at a major disabling level. Almost a year ago I was scheduled for an SI Injection by Dr Bauer at the Baptist Eastpoint Surgical Center. Prior to the initial procedure I had a variety of questions come up between my office visit and the surgical procedure. I was able to message Dr Bauer and she immediately answered ALL my questions and put me at ease. On the day of the procedure I got to meet this doctot who is extremely knowledgeable about her area of expertise, caring, competent and has a CALMING bedside manner. I got the two SI injections by Dr Bauer and since I opted to have the procedure with no premedication or sedation I was released to go home about fifteen minutes after getting to recovery. This procedure was a true relief to what had become continual outrageous pain. The relief lasted six months which was longer than relief was predicted. So before we were to travel for the winter holidays I scheduled another appointment with my Pain Management PA. While at that appointment the PA contacted Dr Bauer on my behalf. Dr Bauer was due to start maternity leave shortly. As the caring doctor that she is she agreed to fit my SI injection in as an office visit since I require no premeds or sedation. Once again I experienced wonderful results. Today , five months later I received my pair of SI injections. Dr Bauer and assistants can't be thanked enough for their caring, and professional treatment. I wish I could give you ten stars because five is certainly not enough.
