After months of being seen by a different dr I decided to get a second opinion. I’ve never felt so comfortable and finally have answers like I did today with Dr Taunton. Very pleased

I was confident in having Dr Taunton perform my knee replacement surgery, based on word of mouth, and online reviews. Had a follow up appointment today, and he shared some good advice, and a new medication to help with my pain and inflammation
