From the first consult to my post-op care, Dr. Kennon and his staff have been professional, experienced, efficient and nice people to boot! This was my first joint replacement (total hip) and I had lots of questions and a fear of the unknown. All of them were patient with me and often answered my questions before I asked them. The surgery was done at Midstate Medical Center and the staff there was also very good and accommodating. They offer a joint replacement class for patients before surgery, which was very helpful to me. My recovery is going very well and I thank both Dr. Kennon and his staff as well as the staff at Midstate. Thank you all so much!
Thank you, Lloyd, for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear that Dr. Kennon and his team, along with the Midstate staff, helped ease your concerns. Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery!

Knee Replacement
There are not enough superlatives to describe Dr. Kennon, those in his practice, and, the Connecticut Orthopedic Institute.He is kind, patient and empathetic to say nothing of extremely talented and modest. And he puts you at ease from the first consultation through the follow-up appointments after surgery.Two of my doctors including one whose spouse (also a doctor) had a knee replacement performed by Dr. Kennon and a regarded PT in the state all told me Dr. Kennon was the best of the best. He is!Apparently, his surgical method is less invasive than that of many other surgeons which helped account for a speedier recovery. I was fascinated to learn after my operation that his undergraduate degree was in mechanical engineering which may well explain his unique ability.Dr. Kennon and those who work with him are the platinum standard and I am so grateful for all their care, concern, and, expertise.

July 30th was my total hip replacement. Everyone on his team treated me with kindness and highly qualified care. I would highly recommend Mid State hospital in Meridian where I had the surgery. From pre op to post op has been a great experience. Thank you Dr Kennon

Dr Kennon is the Best !
Dr Kennon is so knowledgeable. This is why I came back to have my left knee replaced. He replaced my two hips with no problems. My knee is coming along nicely through physical therapy. Dr Kenner has a great demeanor and will listen to your concerns. I wouldn’t want any doctor doing surgery on me for osteoarthritis !!!

I was delighted with my hip replacement three years ago. Dr. Kennon went out of his way to make sure I had a good experience, including calling me after business hours to patiently answer all my questions. The administrative staff also did a good job working with me through numerous scheduling and billing hassles caused by my unfamiliar insurance. The surgery went well and the new joint has been working great - after six months, I got to resume playing (rec) volleyball, which was important to me. Couldn't be happier, highly recommend.
Why am I leaving a review 3 years after the fact, you ask? Well, turns out the other hip needs replacement now, and I was very much looking forward to having a surgeon I knew and trusted. But it turns out Dr. Kennon has changed affiliations so that my insurance no longer considers his team in-network. That's nobody's fault, but I spent yesterday afternoon feeling awfully disappointed after I found that out. Today I dusted myself off and figured since I wasn't going to see them in person, I'd leave a review to say thanks and sorry we can't repeat. :)
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us, Sandy. We're delighted to hear how well your recovery went and appreciate your kind words. We're truly sorry about the insurance situation, and we wish you the best with your upcoming procedure.

Total Knee Surgery
I had a total knee replacement in August 2024. With Dr. Kennon. The surgery went very well from pre op to post op. It was so much better than I had anticipated! Thank you Dr. Kennon for the excellent care and results.

I have changed this review.
Originally, my review was not kind to the staff and the physician assistant..
Upon actually seeing Dr. Kennon, I found him to be very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. He gave me the 2nd opinion that I wanted, and I was given a non surgical option, which I will follow up on. And I will probably see him again in the future about my other knee.
My apologies to the staff for the original review. Everyone was very friendly and caring.
Thank you, Rick, for updating your review and sharing your positive experience with Dr. Kennon and our team. We’re glad to have provided you with helpful options and appreciate your kind words about our staff. Looking forward to assisting you in the future.

Full confidence and would recommend
Dr Kennon performed my total hip replacement in June 2024, the results are fantastic! My hip pain is gone, and my mobility is greatly improved. He cares very much about his patients and wants to make certain that you have success. He staff is very attentive and quickly follows up if I had a question.

I am a very active person in my early 70’s and was quite frustrated when left hip pain slowed me down. I went to see Dr. Kennon who confirmed I needed a hip replacement. Since he had replaced both my husband’s hips with excellent results, there was no doubt about who would replace mine! Along with Dr, Kennon being an excellent surgeon, he explains things very well, is reassuring, and is one of the kindest doctors I’ve ever met. My left hip replacement was performed at Midstate Hospital in January 2024 and everything went very smoothly! I came home the same day, started home PT the following day, did my prescribed exercises and followed all my discharge instructions in the weeks that followed. This resulted in steady progress and a return to my normal way of living! With a couple of small modifications, I went back to my women’s exercise class in about 3 months and by 4 months was able to walk considerable distances while on vacation in Spain. Thanks to Dr Kennon and his team, I feel great!
Thank you, Bernice! We're thrilled to hear about your smooth recovery and return to an active lifestyle. Your kind words about Dr. Kennon and his team mean a lot to us. Enjoy your newfound mobility!

So happy with my new left hip!
I am an active person in my early 70’s so I was not pleased when left hip pain slowed me down. I went to see Dr. Kennon who confirmed I needed a hip replacement. Dr. Kennon had replaced both of my husband’s hips over the past 10 years with excellent results so there was no doubt who would be my surgeon! Along with being an excellent surgeon, Dr. Kennon explains things vey well, is reassuring, and is one of the kindest doctors I’ve ever met. My left hip replacement was performed at Midstate Hospital on January 4, 2024 and everything went very smoothly! I went home the same day, started home physical therapy the following day, did my prescribed exercises and followed all my discharge instructions. This resulted in steady progress and a return to my normal way of living! With a couple of minor modifications, I went back to my women’s exercise group in about 3 months and on the 4 month anniversary of my surgery, I walked 5 miles while on vacation in Spain. Thank you, Dr. Kennon!

First visit was given options to try before I decided on surgery. Total knee replacement after I tried all options & decided I was ready to have surgery. Surgery went well and I was walking with walker 2 hours after surgery. Dr. Kennon provided book he wrote which I read cover to cover. Great book with all I needed to know in detail. Would recommend to all.

Dr. Kennon is such a pleasant person to deal with. He is extremely knowledgeable and does listen to his patients. Whether it be a possible complaint or a request. He will give a complete explanation. The whole staff is very professional and competent. My hip replacement could not have turned out any better. Thank you Dr Kennon and staff.
