I finally got my total knee replacement after 14 long years of waiting. Dr. Ricketts did an amazing job I'm pain free and was since day one post op! I'm actually looking forward to getting my other one done ASAP! In addition to being an extraordinary surgeon, she has a wonderful bedside manner - which is rare to find. 100% recommend.
