NEAL LINEMAN |

I’ve been a runner for 45 years and I began having issues with my right knee. Dr. Piston did a total knee replacement. |
| Dr. Piston is a great surgeon and a great man. He actually called me at home after my surgery to see how I was doing. I’ve never had a physician do that before. The rehab center is tops! I can’t say enough about how everyone has treated me. |

Sandy Husing -
Total Knee Replacement |
| "I couldn't cross my legs or walk up steps. My knee was constantly going out from under me, and I even fell a few times. Dr. Piston was wonderful. Now I can sit, walk and climb stairs again. I had gone to different doctors for five years, and even had arthroscopic surgery. but I could not get relief until I was referred to Dr. Piston. He had me walking with a cane and brace after only three weeks!" |

John George - Ankle |
| "The arthritis in my ankle was so bad I could hardly walk. I went to several Doctors and all of them wanted to fuse my ankle. Fusing is permanent and meant I would never be able to move the ankle again. I help my son on his dairy farm and need the use of my ankle. Dr. Evangelista implanted the very latest in ankle implants and I am very pleased. It worked out real well. I can do everything with my repaired ankle that I can do with my other ankle. Dr. Evangelista explained that if the implant had not worked out, fusing would have still been an option. Dr. Evangelista was very nice and actually called me after the surgery. He also gave me his cell phone number in case I needed anything." |

Larry Loth - Total Hip Replacement |
| "I had a total hip replacement on my left side. I learned that my hip problem actually originated with issues involving my right knee.
Dr. Piston replaced my hip and I had to have shots in my knee.
Dr. Piston was very precise and extremely thorough. He explained everything very well. He told me exactly what to expect and answered all my questions. My surgery was four months ago and I would say I am 99% recovered. The medical and Rehab staffs were very professional, friendly and courteous." |

Frank Badolato - Knee |
| "I actually had 3 knee scopes, a unispacer put in my right knee and a total left knee replacement done in recent years. I am doing well and had a good experience relative to my surgeries. Of all the Physicians who have treated me regardless of specialty, Dr. Piston is the most thorough. He listens to complaints and cares about your problems. He takes time to answer questions and explains in detail. I have the utmost respect for
Dr. Piston. I also entrusted him to provide Orthopedic care for my two sons." |

Donald Miller- 2 Total Hips |
| "I had a disease known as Sarcoidosis which had to be treated with steroids. The steroids caused my hip joints to deteriorate and they both had to be replaced. I had my right knee replaced in January and my left knee in June. Dr. Piston was excellent. He took the time to explain what was going to be done and how he was going to do it. He is excellent and I would recommend him highly. I am currently in Rehab and feeling good about my progress." |

Gordon Evans - Knee |
| "I tore my meniscus 2 years ago and Dr. Piston scoped my left knee. It was clear at the time I would eventually need a total knee. After recently experiencing constant pain and limping, I had the knee replaced in June 2010. I am doing well. I had the surgery on a Monday and drove myself from Knox, PA to Hermitage for therapy the next day. The staff is great and I would recommend Dr. Piston and the Rehab staff to anyone. In fact I have some of his cards and hand them out to everyone I know who needs Orthopedic care in the Clarion area." |

Dann Mishata ( 9 years of age) - Foot/Ankle |
| "I had to have surgery on my anchilles tendon. The tendon was short and had to be stretched. Dr. Evangelista was very nice and is a good Doctor. He explained what he was going to so I understood. I now am riding the bike and running on the treadmill as part of my Rehabilitation. The surgery has helped my leg and I feel much better. I can run and play sports again." |

Kathy Mecak - 2 Hip Replacements |
| "I was one of Dr. Piston’s first patients. After 4 hip dislocations, I had my right hip replaced in January and my left hip in September of 1995. I evaluated many surgeons prior to Dr. Piston and he impressed me the most. Prior to surgery he let me hold an actual hip replacement and explained the procedure in detail. It was wonderful he took time to explain everything and answer my questions. My hips are still like new. I continue to drive from Boardman, Ohio to Hermitage to work with the Rehab staff on problems with my back." |

Randy Jones - Total Knee |
| "I had a total knee replacement in April of 2009. My family Doctor referred me to Dr. Piston because my knee had deteriorated to “bone on bone” which was very painful. I was very happy with Dr. Piston and the surgery. I went through Rehab at Specialty Orthopaedics after my surgery and thought the staff was excellent. Everyone was very nice and I would recommend them to anyone who has orthopedic issues. I recently had to have my knee scoped for scar tissue and once again I am very happy with the results. Dr. Piston also replaced one of my dad’s hips and also operated on my sister." |

Wilbur Foht - Foot and Ankle |
| "I was having tremendous foot pain and couldn’t sleep at night. After visiting several foot specialists, they all said the fix would be worse than the problem. Then I met Dr. Evangelista, he was confident from the start. He said the big toe controls much of the foot and he replaced both my large toes with titanium inplants. I had my right foot done in June and the left in July of 2010. My right foot is almost perfect and the left is not too far behind. Dr. Evangelista was super to work with and his confidence helped my confidence. I am doing very well." |
