Doctor was very helpful in educating me for prep on pre op and after surgery. Dr Cochran tells you up front what to expect with no surprises.
After one year on both right knee (12/2024) and 2 months later 2/2025), left knee, I have no pain and only occasional stiffness. I have hiked up 5,000' in Colorado and over a 10-fay period hiked neatly every other day for 4-5 hours each hike. Played pickleball in the past 2 months almost every other day for 1.5-2 hours. Finally, back playing golf several days weekly with full rotation and little to no pain... Mostly some stiffness when done playing 18 holes. Dr. Cochran is a rock-star surgeon who I would highly recommend!
I appreciated he didn't recommend immediate surgery but it's taking a more cautious approach. I also liked that he sat down and talked to us.
Dr Cochran has done two knee replacement surgeries for me. Both knees are doing great. Results are better than expected. Thank you Dr Cochran.
He was kind, funny and explained things in a clear, understanding way.
He is excellent, takes his time explaining surgery and healing process, great answering questions
He was prompt, caring, and very informative. He has a l natural.way of talking with patients.
Skilled, knowledgeable, personal professional. Outstanding care. Highly recommend Dr. Cochran.
Great Experience! Had both hips replaced and Dr. Cochran and his entire team were top notch. I would recommend to anyone!
Dr. Cochran is the best! His bedside manner, expertise, skill and follow up are very thorough, caring and supportive. After 3 joint replacements, he’s my “Go To” doctor and will continue to be.
