Whole Health Orthopedic Institute

My experience with Dr. Molli and his staff was wonderful. I needed to have surgery over the summer because of my job. everyone was very helpful in making that happen. I was impressed by how friendly Dr.Molli and his staff were. Surgery day was very easy and quick. I have followed Dr. Molli's instructions and my recovery has been a breeze, not to mention my new knee is fantastic. If I or any of my friends and family need surgery I will definitely recommend Dr.Molli! Read more >

Hi , I finally had my total hip replacement on June 13th of this year . I am two months out now and am walking without pain or a limp.it has been one amazing journey from my first appointment to my surgery which I came home the same day and was ready for what ever came my way . I had minimal pain , never had to take any pain medicine, except for an occasional Tylenol. My family couldn’t believe that the pain was not there and I had no trouble sleeping or showering or walking with a walker the very first day home . I cannot say enough about Dr. Mollie and his team , they are first rate !! They are there for your every need and I cannot thank them for everything they have done for me to get me back to living without constant pain !!!Im like everyone else ……why didn’t I do it sooner?

I contemplated what to write here, but decided short and sweet is best. My first appt I was beside myself with pain. Crying every day. I had total hip replacement and I feel like a different person! Only 7 weeks post-op!! Thank you Dr. Molli and staff!! Read more >

If I could, I would give them 10 stars. Dr. Molli and ALL staff were so helpful and compassionate. I had partial left knee surgery on June 14. After 3 weeks, I was able to drive. After 6 weeks, I can do pretty much what I want. The staff at Edgewood Surgical Hospital was excellent as well. I HIGHLY recommend them. With God 1st and a great surgeon and staff 2nd, I couldn't be more pleased!!!!!!!!! Read more >

I had a hip replacement in late April of this year. The experience from the first appointment to present has been one of the easiest and most pleasant. All of my questions were answered in ways I could understand, all of my fears of the unknown were heard and talked through, I never felt rushed through an appointment and every person I met with were friendly and knowledgeable. There is never a good time to have surgery; I am young, have seven kids, three under 13 and I am a soccer coach so needless to say we are a busy family. Listening to the “rules” was the best thing for me. The recovery stage has been as smooth as it can be! I feel confident if I have have a question or concern I can reach out to the staff and it will be taken care of quickly. Looking forward to the rest of recovery! Read more >

My daughter went to Whole Health for knee issues. We saw Barb at our initial appointment. She was wonderful - she took her time and answered all of our questions - sent my daughter for an MRI and kept communication going once she got the MRI results and had to talk to the doctor regarding the results. They decided that because of her age, she should see a pediatric ortho dr at either Cleveland Clinic or Pittsburgh Children's . We opted for Cleveland - We waited several days for an appointment, when I didn't hear from them, I called to find out the status. I was told that it was taking too long sitting on hold to make the appointment so they didn't make it. I called Cleveland and made an appointment myself and I was on the phone 20 minutes total. There were then many phone calls to get the office notes faxed to the dr and the xray and MRI discs sent to me. Only once when I... Read more >

Highly recommend this place for joint replacement surgery. Dr. Molli is excellent Read more >

Here's my story... I was pretty much house bound. Could only walk with a walker. Fast forward. I was referred to Dr. Stephen Molli. After two wonderfully easy hip replacements I am feeling 25. I am 70. I am riding my horse and working stables everyday. If not for Whole Health, the employees, and Dr Molli, I would not be living this full and fantastic lifestyle. Thank You and Bless you all. Cheryl Baker. I'm going to post a picture of me on my horse. PROOF.!!!!! Read more >

I am so happy the pain is gone and has been since the surgery from both hips !!! I highly recommend Whole Health orthopedic Institute !!! Read more >

Hello!!! About a year and a half ago a friends relative had a total knee surgery by Dr. Ryan Molli and came home that day. This guy was doing incredibly amazing...so i was so intrigued and decided to make a call to the office. November 1, 2021 i had a total knee replacement. I left the Hospital by 1:00 pm and was home in 1.5 hours up walking all around. i never stopped walking...up and down my stairs 3- 4 times a day.i followed Dr. Molli's Protocol- dillegently and i just can't say enough about him...he's so good at what he does. He has this medical procedure right down to the science. i had witnessed other people that had this surgery from other Doctors...they were in the hospital 4-5 days...in lots of pain..weeks of therapy. All i have to say...if your considering a total knee replacement Dr. Ryan Molli is the Doctor you want..After lots of time of researching and time with Dr.... Read more >

I had a total knee done in Feb this year and could not be happier with my decision. Dr Molli and staff both at Whole Health and Edgewood surgical center were absolutely wonderful. I cannot wait to have my other knee done and hope my experience is the same which I'm sure it will be. I do have one complaint and that is that there is only a 5 star rating. Thank you again Dr Molli and staff. Read more >

One of the best facilities I have ever been to! great care and great staff!! Read more >

I am a 65 year-old man who recently had a two full knee replacements. I gave Dr. Frndak and Whole Health Orthopedic Institute 5 Stars which, for some readers, may be suspect but in my experience, I simply do not have a reason to give less than 5 stars.
• Dr. Frndak and the Whole Health team are knowledgeable, pleasant and professional.
• Offices are located in a beautiful new facility in Meadville PA with attached coffee shop/bakery.
• Dr. Frndak was the most consistently recommended surgeon by people that previously had knee surgery.
• A Physical Therapy acquaintance said that, in his experience, surgeries from Whole Health consistently have more positive outcomes than some others.
• Patient education was highly effective in preparing me for the process.
• Dr. Frndak uses a surgical hospital rather than a general hospital
• Pain control meds... Read more >

This review is from my grandmother. 😊 We highly recommend Whole Health Orthopedic Institute! Dr. Frndak did her surgery. He was a kind and caring man, with a great bedside manner. His staff was also very kind and helpful. She had both knees done by him, one last March and then the other this January. Both surgeries were a success! In her words, "At 84 years old, he gave me my life back." Thank you to Dr. Frndak and his staff!! Read more >

This review is from my grandmother, Dolores Kapp. 😊 We highly recommend Whole Health Orthopedic Institute at Meadville! Dr. Frndak did her surgery.

They are the absolute best!! Everyone is kind and courteous. Had both my knees done here and wouldn’t go anywhere else for other work if needed. Thanks Whole Health Orthopedics for all you’ve done for me!! Read more >

I was the caregiver to my sister whom Dr. Frndak did a total knee replacement on. He came so highly recommended, even though it was a bit of a drive, I insisted we go for an evaluation. From the very moment Dr. Frndak walked in it was evident he was knowledgable and compassionate and the one to have this surgery with. Every step of the way we had guidance and comfort. After surgery it even got better with a 24/7 number to call ( Dr. Frndak encouraged us to call for anything no matter how minor, and I did call) and Dr. Fryndak himself calling to check on my sister. She was not a routine case as she has some significant health issues. Dr. Frndak had her see Dr. Evans prior to surgery to make sure all bases were covered. Dr. Evans himself is a phenomenal person. Don't give it a second thought. I would go to no one else. Thank you Dr. Frndak for taking my sister as a patient, even with... Read more >

People said my husband was crazy to do two knees at once but Dr Frndak was so thorough, pragmatic and just great at what he does that recovery went well and while it’s only been 4 weeks I am walking better than the last 5 years! Great place- great affiliations with Greenville facility and super professional. Read more >

Dr molli did partial replacement of both my knees and i could not be happier. I came home the same day both times with minimal pain. Physical therapy was not needed! I am back to enjoying being active again!!!! Read more >

Very caring but no nonsense approach. Love Dr. Frndak and Olivia but everyone is great! We were there for my husband’s knee replacements and had excellent experiences. Would highly recommend. Read more >

Had a great experience with Dr. Molli. Had total right hip replacement and from first consultation to pre-op to surgery to post-op the entire process was exceptional. Staff at both Whole Health JRI and Edgewood were great. The pre-op educational info was very helpful on knowing what to expect. I am seven weeks post-op with zero pain and moving around great. Highly recommend Dr. Molli and his staff ! Read more >

Dr Molli & Whole Health Orthopedic Institute gave me my life and mobility back!! My knees were terrible, with accompanying lymphatic issues, yet Dr Molli and his team successfully replaced both knees, did and excellent job, and I am now walking and moving very normally. Just an excellent experience all around! Read more >

I had my right hip replaced 5/17/21, when Dr. Molli gave me back my LIFE. This Christmas, I was running up and down to the basement to bring up 25 or 30 LARGE storage totes and 5 trees and then dismantled it by going in reverse. Last year, others had to do the stairs for me.

Today I shoveled the foot of snow we received with no problem.

Whole Health Joint Replacement, Dr. Molli, and his team of wonderful, caring professionals are WONDERFUL! Read more >

Was very impressed with the level of care given by this team. When dealing with a different orthopedic practice in town they only heard what they wanted to hear and as the patient I was not listened to. I felt heard for the first time in a very long time. Thank you! Read more >

I’d like to share an unexpected, yet amazing testimonial about my experience throughout my hip replacement 10/26/21! My name is Richard (Craig) Abbey, from Erie, Pennsylvania, who resides in Naples, Florida;

Being an athlete and runner all my life, I had developed some pain in my right knee over the years, which got progressively worse until it required arthroscopic meniscus repair on 11/29/18. After the surgery, physical therapy and several months of wishful thinking, my right leg, always seemed to have some pain or discomfort from the knee down and I was walking with a limp. I would always dread washing my right foot or putting my socks on, because of the painful difficulty of bending that way. There were occasional visits to orthopedic doctors, MRIs, X-rays and even a stem cell treatment, with no relief. I was at the point of accepting my condition and thought there... Read more >
