Warren's Story

Home the next day and back in the game just weeks after knee replacement surgery

Warren Pettaway of Detroit knew he needed to have his left knee checked out when he could no longer keep up while officiating basketball. The pain got so bad that running up and down the court or quickly changing directions was too much for him to continue doing what he loved.

After talking to several people who had gone through knee replacement surgery and doing his own research, the 63-year-old decided it was time to talk to a doctor. He says he was fortunate to find Michael Charters, M.D., a fellowship trained joint replacement surgeon at Henry Ford Hospital.

  • Very pleased with my hip surgery, performed in 2018. I have had no problems. He did an excellent job. Would recommend him.

  • As a younger patient for a total knee replacement you can imagine the hesitation I had in having this procedure. After speaking with Dr. Charters he was able to ease all my fears about the procedure. Dr. Charters spent a lot time with me going through the procedure, he made me feel like I was his only patient. The entire Henry Ford Medical Staff was terrific from the Medical assistants to the nurses and the Physical Therapists. I would recommend HFH and Dr. Charters to anyone.

  • Dr. Charters has wonderful social skills along with his exceptional surgical talent. He treats you with respect, answers all your questions and continually asks if you have any additional questions. As to his social skills, he took the time to call on a holiday because he was out of town when I reached out to his office on a follow up question, that gesture along with many others demonstrates his commitment to his patients. I also was a patient advocate for another patient and witnessed the same

  • Previous to hip surgery, I had a femur break, which did not heal properly and rod in femur broke. Was referred to Dr. Charters and Dr. Hoegler (femur doctor) at Henry Ford. They determined that a hip replacement would be a better fix than attempting another rod. Dr. Hoegler took out old rod. A week later, Dr. Charters did replacement. Wonderful! Walking without limp. No pain. Best I have been in six years. Would absolutely recommend Dr. Charters! No hesitation at all.

  • I was very nervous about what procedures would have to be done with my knee. I needed a total knee replacement of the left knee. The pain was so bad for about three years and now I'm pain free. This surgery turned my life around and I can do pretty much of anything I want ( for a 76 year old). Dr. Charters is a wonderful, kind and very good surgeon. I was so lucky to have him for my doctor!

  • I developed a blood clot after my knee replacement and Dr. Charters called me at home after hours several times to see how I was doing. I have never had a Dr. do that before. Not only is he an expert in his field, he has a wonderful personality. I would, and have, recommended him to everyone. I have not had any pain in my knee and my surgery was a year ago. Sometime later I am sure my other knee will need to be replaced and I will certainly be calling on him again!

When I first meet him I was a little worried because he is so young but I wouldn't go to anyone else for my procedures.

  • Very good experience . This is my second knee surgery,first one done at the same hospital. The recovery this time was phenomenal. I had to use very little pain meds, and was off a walker and onto a cane in 3 weeks, fully ambulatory in 5 weeks. I believe that this is largely due to the new protocol of intraoperative and perioperative pain medicaltion as well as the excellent pre op and post op management. Less bruising/ leg pain, less nausea. The staff was also caring and courteous.

  • From the moment we met Dr. Charters and his team, we were put at ease. The whole surgery from pre op visits to post op was a breeze. My recovery was great, very little pain and I was walking the same day, after the surgery he came up to the floor before he left to check on me and HE got me out of bed to walk! Talk about personal touch, he really takes pride in his work. I'm not walking like a old man of 60, I'm walking like a young man of 60! Just had my follow up visit and returning to work.

  • Dr Charters replaced my left hip 12 weeks ago and my hip/leg has not felt this good in years. I’m able to walk and bike for hours without pain. Dr. Charters and the staff at Henry Ford Hospital were courteous and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Dr. Charters to all that ask about my surgery.

  • Dr Charters is an amazing doctor and person! He called the night before my surgery to give me a pep talk & asked me about my new great granddaughter! During my surgery & after he kept my family updated! I would recommend him to my family & friends. He & his staff were totally accessible after I left the hospital for questions & prescription refills. My recent exrays showed my new hardware hasn’t moved & he called it textbook perfect! Scar & pain almost gone so all is great! So happy I found him?

  • spent 3 years of my life in severe pain. I lost hope after seeing numerous doctors with unanswered questions time and again. Then I found Dr. Charters. He diagnosed me with AVN of the hip. I needed a hip replacement. Within WEEKS, I was in surgery (surgery was a breeze. My 1st one ever).I was walking with a walker that night. It’s 6 weeks after surgery, I’m good as new. I am pain FREE!! And LIVING!! Dr. Charters and staff are the best out there. They deserve the highest praises. Light and Love

  • Dr Charters took very good care of me when I was brought in the ER with a fractured hip. He explained everything that I was going through and what was going to happen. I needed a total hip replacement and I couldn’t have asked for better doctor. He’s kind and caring and listens to you. I highly recommended him 100%
