Here is an update after 1 year into my knee replacement surgery. From the beginning I was so impressed with incredibly thorough process that Dr Cornelius has put together for his patients. Every step leading up to surgery and through recovery has been planned and executed perfectly. The staff is very caring and professional throughout the process. Dr Cornelius is an exceptional surgeon, with great caring personality. I highly recommend that you choose Dr Cornelius for your knee replacement surgery. He also uses Stryker’s Mako robotic assist machine for more accurate and quicker healing knee replacement surgery.

Never rushed. Dr Cornelius takes his time to go over every detail and asks many times if I have questions.

Dr. Cornelius is the best orthopedic doctor. He performed a partial knee replacement in July and I am soon to have the other knee done this year. I feel blessed to be in his care.
