He had to repair my knee replacement that another Dr. did wrong!!!!. It’s been 2 years repairs and going back taking out scar tissue and Bakers cyst that formed behind the knee. I’m 70. Bowling on leagues again. Swimming , Yoga.
His PA is the best time explained helps with proper PT. I travel 85 miles for the best care. I’m a retired Military Dr. I support all TGH has to offer
