Dr. Brigati was thorough informing me and explaining patiently all the ramifications and options available to me in formulating a decision on how to proceed with my knee issue of discomfort. I feel strongly that we reached the wisest decision to easily resolve my current condition and to be aware of future possibilities in shifting to other methods, as needed, as time progresses. Thank you so much Doctor; I feel truly at ease, having listened attentively to your thoughtful presentation. All my best, Ellen Holland
