I have had two knee replacements and I have trusted Dr. Brislin completely! He is very personable and very friendly, and he is always concerned to hear what is troubling me! I have had these two knee replacements and I have had great success. However, I will admit, I worked very hard prior to my surgeries on both my knees and after With exercising and therapy. The surgeon can only do so much. The rest is up to me. And I am an overachiever! I work very hard on my therapy and I even to this day. I go to the gym twice a week just to keep my muscles Working hard for me and supporting me! Many thanks to Dr. Brislin. He’s been a very good doctor for me.
