So Blessed
Just and amazing experience from the reception desk to Kelly, to Josh and everyone in between. Especially Dr. Kennon. 5 stars is not enough. I had both knees replaced within 5 months. I'm not a small man and 65 years old, not single regret. God Bless all who were part of it.
Great Experience with a great Surgeon
I had my first hip replacement in August 2025 and my second in November 2025.I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Robert Kennon and his team. From my very first consultation through my hip replacement surgery and recovery, Dr. Kennon demonstrated exceptional skill, professionalism, and compassion. He took the time to explain every step of the process, clearly answered all of my questions with patience, and made me feel confident and cared for. Both surgeries went very smoothly, and my recovery has been remarkable--I'm walking more comfortably and regaining mobility. Dr. Kennon's expertise and warm, reassuring manner made a difficult experience much easier. I am deeply grateful for his dedication and for the outstanding care I received from him, his staff, and the care givers at Mid-State Medical Center in Meriden. The hospital staff was amazing! If you are considering hip replacement surgery, I strongly recommend Dr. Kennon.

Left hip replacement
Dr Kennon is very kind, thorough and soft spoken. He is also an expert at anterior hip replacement which I wanted as it seems to be a faster recovery. Well, I am 8 weeks post surgery and am at 90% mobility with little to no pain. I had another doctor do my right hip a couple years ago and it took much longer to get to this point. Highly recommended

Hi Robert, thank you for your feedback. After reviewing your chart, we found that we previously provided the appropriate amount of pain medication for your past procedure, which is why we were unable to issue an additional prescription at this time. Our team follows strict guidelines to ensure safe and appropriate care for all patients.
Knee replacement surgery
Dr. Kennon replaced my right knee back in February 2025, I was back playing tennis (singles) in June 2025 at a level of movement and lack of pain that I had not achieved in 5 years. My only regret is that I did not have the surgery earlier. Dr. Kennon and his staff were extremely professional and guided me through the process having a major surgery so that I felt very comfortable. Dr. Kennon has a great bedside manner, but most importantly is a highly competent surgeon. My recovery was seamless thanks to Dr. Kennon and his staff and some great physical therapy and therapists.
Such an amazing doctor. Throughly listens to what you are saying, takes his time with you and finds a solution.

Thank you, Gabi! We're so glad to hear you felt heard and cared for. Your kind words mean a lot, and we'll continue striving to provide attentive and thoughtful care.
Dr. Kennon was recommended to me by a physical therapist for hip replacement. At first I wasn't interested because his office wasn't convenient for me but she said you won't be sorry and I certainly wasn't! He is so kind and compassionate and most of all, knowledgeable. He listens patiently to all your concerns and you never feel rushed or foolish. His staff is great as well. I had to call the nurse navigator several times and she always answered my questions pleasantly. His PA Josh is just as knowledgeable and patient as Dr. Kennon. Midstate Medical Center is great. All in all everything went very smoothly I was actually driving again after 3 weeks (and I'm 80!) It's not a bad surgery and you shouldn't be afraid.

Thank you, Rhonda, for sharing your wonderful experience. We're thrilled to hear how smoothly everything went and that Dr. Kennon and the whole team provided such excellent care. Wishing you continued health and mobility!
I was very happy that I chose Dr. Kennon to perform surgery to my Left Knee.He is an excellent surgeon & very kind. My surgery was a success & I found that the care I received at Midstate was excellent as well. Everything was so well planned before, during & after surgery that it eased my mind completely. Thank you so much Dr. Kennon! I know I’ll be returning to you as soon as I can for you to replace my right knee as well!
I have had an outstanding experience with Dr Kennon and his entire staff for both hip and knee surgery. Dr Kennon is a superb surgeon who delivers care with compassion. His MA Kelly was very responsive and addressed all my questions promptly. I highly recommend Dr Kennon and his practice for all orthopedic needs

Thank you, Herbert, for sharing your experience. We're delighted Dr. Kennon and his team provided you with exceptional care. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’re glad we could meet your expectations!
I recently had total knee replacement with Dr. Kennon. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering this type or any other type of orthopedic surgery. He is kind compassionate and has a soft spoken, caring demeanor when answering concerns and questions about the upcoming surgery. His book which details exercises to do before the surgery was very informative and helpful to my recovery. It will be three months tomorrow that I had my TKR and I’m very happy with the results. My range of motion has been better than expected at this stagein most recoveries and I’m doing things that I haven’t done in 10 years because my knee is feeling so much better. Thank you, Dr. Kennon for such a positive experience!
If I could rate Dr Kennon a thousand stars I would. Very professional and thorough. Excellent orthopedic MD with extensive knowledge in his field. Follow ups before and after surgery were amazing and lighthouse medical is a very good outpatient surgical center The whole process went smoothly and effortlessly. My future success from left hip surgery will speak
To his excellent skill and expertise
