Patient Story: Caryn Honig
Running meant everything to Caryn Honig. It was a way to decompress and a way to challenge herself. Caryn had been running since 1985, then, all of a sudden, she had to stop. Her knees simply could not take it anymore.
“I was bone on bone. My knee would even catch, and I would trip. It was really painful,” she said. Caryn knew she needed a knee replacement but the doctors she spoke to told her even with surgery she would never run again.
Then, she heard about Dr. Richard Berger, a world-renowned Chicago-based orthopedic surgeon at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush, Chicago. Dr. Berger had a solution to Caryn’s dilemma and was so confident he could not only help replace Caryn’s knee, but pinky swore Caryn would be running again in no time.
Dr. Berger is known for treating elite athletes, politicians, and celebrities. Even former US President George W. Bush was a patient.
Dr. Berger offers a new program called The BEST (Berger Elective Surgical & Telemedicine) Experience for patients not based in Chicago. This concierge-style service for out-of-town patients is more convenient and saves them time and money because they do not have to travel to Chicago for pre- or post-consultations or pre-surgery classes.
Dr. Berger performs hip and knee replacements using a minimally invasive procedure that cuts less tissue and ligaments. This allows for a much quicker recovery than traditional surgery and means patients get back to doing what they love, even running marathons!
Caryn traveled to Chicago for surgery, and with her new knee, she soon raced back to running, including marathons, half-marathons, and full marathons.
Then tragedy struck. Caryn’s father died by suicide. Dealing with the heartbreak of suicide in her family, she turned running into a movement called Poppy’s Run for Life and Poppy’s Row for Life.
“My grandfather also died by suicide when I was a teenager, and we never talked about that, and when my dad died by suicide, I had to talk about it. The outlet that I had was running, and my running community came together. Dr. Berger stepped up, and we created a nonprofit organization. All the proceeds go to suicide prevention and awareness,” Caryn said.

did you get both replaced at same time? \
Dr. B will be doing my first knee in 2 weeks! I've heard nothing but praise for his work. I just want to walk with my wife again!
How long after were you able to do that?
WOW Amazing!
I can relate to Caryn's passion for running but haven't been able to run since September. I have an appointment with a surgeon next week. This will be the first step toward returning to action.
Michael, congratulations on making that appointment! Dr Berger performed a total knee replacement on me April 5th. I’ve been a flight attendant for 40 yrs, I returned to work in 7 weeks. But let me tell you, at the 3 month mark, your smile and joy returns. I’m BACK! After the appointment with your surgeon, pick up the phone and give Dr Berger’s office a call. I’ve never had such a wonderful experience. Cheers!
Getting my first one done in a couple weeks. Really excited, especially, since I've been in pain for about 6 years.
Wow thats nice❤❤❤❤
Stretching muscles is as bad as cutting the muscles. Besides mimimally invasive surgery results in more complications as compared to traditional surgery....😊😊😊.
frauds
God bless you 🙏
This is such a great information!
Love you Dr. Berger, but not so much for Pat Robertson.
Two great men doing good work!
During my wreslting season this year I’ve injured my hip like twice any advice
This sounds great. Where are you located? Does Medicare usually cover it?
Located in Chicago. They accept Medicare for everything except his physician fee which runs in the low-to-mid $20ks
@@The_best_days_are_yesterdays😳 What? Medicare w/supplement G fully covered anterior hip replacement and I’m in the gym at 6 weeks. 69 years old. Why this “physicians fee”? I’d shop around…
@@vidikat I can't speak to anything other than my own experience. :)
Most of these videos look like Dr promotions
I had my life has change is amazing ❤😊
Go pee yoursef ! It’s a lie !
Helpful video!
Don't delay ! ! Dr.'s need to buy a new boat while they are still young ! !
Thia is all very well and good if you have a Medical System you cab have anything done under two years. Private is not an optopn for so many peopla as i chose this years ago know my sitution is so bad a total Hip and through this partial knee will be required . I am House bound and cna't even walk 10 paces as my Hip just wont carry any weight any more. Wuth a Cracking sound from my right Knee and a hip Bone on Bone and stll nothing available untill september 2024 can you even try and imagine my Mental state and body as well as muscles use or lack there of will be by then. Non Cripple before total cripple after great for the year 2023. Just simply dont age if in Australia.
After hip replacement you never sit with your legs crossed.
My knees are bone on bone. I’m 71. Can I get double knee replacement and ski again?
Hospitals are germ incubators
Still watching Macmillan and wife
He forgot the insurance kicks you out asap
What do you mean?
You never hear about the fails.
Had to be straightened No 6
Please stop lying and telling people this is "your" approach. DAHR has been used for, at least, 20 years now. Also, don't steal other people's video. th-cam.com/video/z9AirIq0Yno/w-d-xo.html
Her teenage son was killed in a plane crash and she witnessed the crash.
You don't get told about the fails.this is a serious op/thr 2yrs ago still can't walk bitter as fck.T800Aust
I loved her in McMillan and Wife. Still do.
I’m watching old episodes of that lately and enjoying her all over again. I also liked her in Kate and Allie. ❤
I had a crush on her when I was a little boy. Loved her in the Football Jersey. McMillan and Wife was a great show.
Hi Dr Berger I am 28 and on the verge of getting a knee replacement. What do you think is better. A knee replacement or a joint spacer so I dont have to get the replacement so young? I have had 7 knee surgeries since my acl and meniscus repair in september 2022
How long after?
Been a fan of Susan for several decades. She's had some tragedies in her life, like everyone.
Thanks for this info! Questions: 1) The metal cap that is put in the pelvis had a hole in it. Is this hole used for installing a screw to hold the metal cap to the pelvis? 2) If so, does this limit, hinder or reduce range of motion for the hip?
Thanks seems ok iight be getting this soon I'm in so much pain we'll see enjoyed your expertise...
this is inspiring. as a 33 year old that was recently told by an orthopedic surgeon "I've replace better knees than yours" my skiing dream may be able to continue!
Your videos are amazing. I really like it. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Can I talk with you?
My leg is 1and 3/8 of inch shorter after the same surgery. Maybe my surgeon's measuring tool was bad.
My surgeon took xrays during the surgery and accurately measured the hip replacement to that my legs are the same length. It is called fluoroscopy. Sorry about your issues.
This is can not be after 24 hours to walk like this. I have to weeks ago this operation and I can't move like this. It is fake
It still hurts like hell
This is anterior approach sure not posterior approach !
10 months ago I ask an important question ! Why wont you answer us ??!! So unprofessional !!!!
Wish mine would have been so easy
Very disappointing that this gifted Surgeon does not accept Medicare.
If only it was that easy. The recovery is brutal, lack of understanding from people who haven’t had one. I will never get over the pain I’ll always remember it. 13 weeks on and still debilitated. There has to be a better way. Sorry
Well, I would imagine, a pilate instructor like Kathy Burns has great core muscle control and toning!
Good animation of what happens during a TKR. I had a TKR of my right knee and will be getting the left knee done soon, hopefully! 👍
Guess I'll find out how to wash my legs and feet at therapy.
