Excellent post op knee check up Personable
Dr Taunt is the best Orthopedic doctor/Surgeon. He fixed both of my dysplastic hips with dual mobility hip replacements. I can now walk pain free for the first time in 16 years. He is so nice and his staff is also so nice. Dr Taunt is an incredibly skilled surgeon, if you want the best results you need to have the best Dr/Surgeon! Thank you so much Dr Taunt and your whole staff for giving me my life back.
Dr. Taunt listens well, addresses my concerns, and has a fun sense of humor!
