Amy – Total Knee Replacement Review
Dr. Kelly and the staff at OAW in Pewaukee were top notch throughout the whole process of my total knee replacement. Prior to the operation the staff educated me as to what exactly I could expect and what choices I had for pain meds. The day of operation Dr Kelly and the staff relieved my jitters and talked me through (again) what they were going to do assuring me all would be well. I was worried about nausea as I had issues with that in the past. After the operation I had no issues with nausea and with the help of the staff was able to walk out of the surgical center to go home. It has been 6 weeks of recovery so far and with the OAW physical therapy, and home exercises I am walking without any assistance. Im working on going up and down the stairs and I’m feeling pretty good about my progress. The best part about Dr Kelly and OAW are the daily text messages encouraging me and giving hints and ideas to try at home for improved knee performance. I am grateful for Dr Kelly, Dr Kim, the nurses, Josh Orne, and the Physical Therapists (Meredith and Phillip) who push me to continue to work hard. Very grateful.
Jerry – Total Knee Replacement Review
I am very satisfied with my knee replacement. Dr. Kelly was great. It seemed to heal much faster then when I had my other knee replaced. I would recommend him highly.
Cliff – Partial Knee Replacement Review
Could not be happer with Dr. Kelly as my knee surgeon. He was very honest with what to expect both before and after the procedure. Especially recommend you sign up for the text messages after surgery.
Ellen – Total Knee Replacement Review
Dr. Kelly just did a full knee replacement on me. I gotta say I thought I would be miserable for a long time but honestly I feel great. I was walking without a cane or walker in a week. You can sign up for these text messages from the doctor. They sent you one or two a day. Those really helped.
Anyway. I am very impressed with Dr. Kelly and his entire team. Everyone is beyond nice and they really know their stuff. So if you need a great orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kelly is your guy.
Dale – Total Hip Replacement Review
Dr. Kelly is skilled and knowledgeable. My case is extremely challenging and he has adapted his approach at every turn. My prognosis is excellent and I have 100% confidence in him.
Sharron – Total Knee Replacement Review

Cathy – Partial Knee Replacement Review
I’d do it again! Dr. Mick Kelly did a partial knee replacement for me and there is so much good to report. Rather than wait 6 months at Froedtert (another excellent doc for sure), I was referred to Dr. Kelly. When I watched his video at the OAW website, I felt reassured that he “got it.” After being “under diagnosed” by a couple of other Orthos in the fall of 2023, I had answers beyond PT, cortisone and the gel shot (all of which I experienced that fall). The pain persisted and was worse than ever. Knee surgery isn’t for sissies, I’m not going to lie. It’s hard work to return to an active life – I’m still in the middle of it all, but I know I’ll get there, and I KNOW, I’m under the best care possible.
Dr. Mick Kelly is not only a very skilled surgeon, but just a really good man who took time to understand my issue, answer my questions, and ensure that I’d get back to an active life. My dad was a physician (1960s-90s) and Dr. Kelly’s methods and intentionality fit that “golden era” of medicine who cared about patients, not just efficiencies. He’s professional as is the team that surrounds him. The TOSC and its proficiency was pretty remarkable as well, including Dr. Cios my anesthesiologist. I came out of surgery feeling great – no nausea, no nothing to hinder my healing. Thank you to you all and God bless.
Eddie – Partial Knee Replacement Review
Had a partial knee replacement surgery from Dr. Mick Kelly. Knee is doing great and Dr. Kelly gave me a strong push to quit smoking, which I did and am great without them. Can’t wait for the knee to be back to 100%. Dr. Kelly is a great surgeon and a really good doctor to deal with. The daily text were wonderful and very helpful. Where I’m from it’s polite and a honor to offer a gift, hope you enjoyed your gift.

Mike – Total Knee Replacement Review
I had two knee replacements done by Dr. Kelly at Orthopedic Associates on Gulf Rd. Left knee done in April the right knee done in June. The professionalism shown by this staff was amazing! From check in through recovery room this staff was friendly and very helpful. I was home that same day. The next day Dr. Kelly called me to find out how everything was going. For the next 7 weeks I received daily texts to keep me informed of where I should be at in my recovery. It’s been 10 weeks since my last knee replacement and I played my first game of pickleball. The knee held up well. My only regret is I waited so long to have them done.
Cristine – Total Hip Replacement Review
My experience at Orthopedic Assoc could not have gone any better! Dr Mick Kelly did an anterior total hip replacement on my right side! I would highly recommend him as a surgeon to anyone! Also recommend Orthopedic Assoc to anyone!

Barb – Total Knee Replacement Review
Dr. Kelly took me from pain back to normal. He did not pressure me, just told me facts. I was up and feeling great after two weeks. Do what he tells you and read/do daily texts. His post op program was great. Read the booklet, do what it says, read/do texts, and have a good coach. You will be up and feeling ‘new again’. He.gets five stars PLUS from me. GREAT DOCTOR.
Sue – Total Knee Replacement Review
Dr. Kelly is very personable, caring but most of all knowledgable of his profession. I felt that my care from Dr. Kelly was personalized to my needs and that really put me at ease. The text messages were a perfect way to give his patients encouragement in their recovery. I would, and have recommended Dr. Kelly to others. Thanks Dr. Kelly for excellent care and a successful surgery.
Mary – Total Knee Replacement Review
My entire experience having both knees replaced was awesome. They really care about the pain during recovery. The text messages that I received helped so much knowing where I stood in my recovery compared to other patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Kelly and Orthopedics Associates.
Shirley – Total Knee Replacement Review
Dr. Mick Kelly is a fantastic orthopedic doctor who is among the ortho docs I have previously dealt with & one of the best as he did a knee replacement revision which was very intense on the 20th of February and I am now walking without any assistance, on April 2nd and I am very happy with what he has accomplished. This was my 1st time with him and it was my 4th surgery on my knees, by 2 other docs in ortho. I most highly recommend him. He explains and talks with you, and is very carIng. My whole family is glad to have him as their ortho doc now too.
Ronald – Total Hip Replacement Review
Very professional, excellent. Couldn’t be more pleased with Dr Kelly and his staff. Left the hospital the same day of the surgery, had very little pain. After 3 weeks I felt I was almost back to normal. I would also like thank the amazing staff at the hospital, they were great.
Carol – Total Knee Replacement Review
I was so happy with the care and treatment I received from Dr. Kelly over the last two years. I was reluctant to have knee surgery, and he allowed me to try alternatives first before taking that step. I never felt any pressure during the process. Eventually I decided surgery was necessary, and he provided me all of the support and information I needed…both before and after the surgery. The personalized texts were so helpful in preparation and recovery. Everything went smoothly and my recovery was just amazing. Thank you so much for your excellent care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kelly!
Albert – Total Knee Replacement Review
Now I may not be the typical knee replacement surgery recovery. Dr Kelly and his team were professional courteous and honest. I am just over 2 weeks from surgery and have had little pain and yesterday I walked .71 miles with a cane. I took only Tylenol for pain except for the second day after surgery. I can’t thank the team enough. I’m doing so much better than I thought could be possible due to how bad my knee was before surgery. I definitely recommend Dr Kelly and orthopedic associates.
Juan Jimenez – Total Hip Replacement Review
I am Juan Carlos Jimenez, I couldn’t be happier after having my surgery with doctor Kelly, it has been a year 1-26-24 was a year since my surgery and it totally changed my life, I am so grateful with the results. I wouldn’t doubt to do it again if I have too. Thanks to orthopaedic associates of Wisconsin and doctors Kelly and his team really changed my life.
Kathy – Total Hip Replacement Review
I had a great experience finally relieving my hip pane with my total right leg hip replacement done by Dr. Mick Kelly and his team at Orthopcedic Associates from the pre-op to post-op experience. I received classroom pre education along with ongoing text messages following surgery keeping me informed of usual progress for my recovery. This helped me have confidence for my healing progress
Dawn – Total Knee Replacement Review
I am very happy I met Dr. Kelly. He has helped me very much in explaining what was going on with my knee replacement I had almost 2 years ago. He is very thorough conservative but listens to my concerns. For my age he wants to preserve my bones. So we sat down together and discussed my options and made a plan. I have had many issues since May but with his knowledge we were able to Rule out a lot of stuff. I highly recommend Dr Kelly. He takes his time with you explains everything. You are not a number you are a person with a name who is seeking his help and he is right there. Thank you Dr. Kelly! Update: I recently had surgery and again I can not say anything bad about Dr Kelly. I’m blessed to have such a wonderful Doctor. His knowledge is admirable and he is very gifted I highly recommend Dr Kelly.
Troy – Total Hip Replacement Review
My experience with Dr Kelly and the staff at Orthopedic Associates of Wisconsin has been wonderful. Throughout my hip replacement surgery and aftercare any question I had was answered. The frequent text messages with how my progress would look and reminders on exercises and activities helped not only me but my family to know how to make my recovery a success! I haven’t had surgery in a very long time and I truly appreciate how at ease I felt once entering the hospital. Pre op information helped lessen any anxiety since I knew what to expect. My hip is doing amazing and look forward to the next replacement. Thank you Dr Kelly.
Brian – Total Knee Replacement Review
I have RA an my knee was in very bad shape, swelled and extremely painful. Dr. Kelly did an amazing full knee replacement and from the moment I woke up from surgery my pain went way down. I am now 8 weeks into my new knee and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Dr. Kelly and team for a life changing procedure!
