Nice guy and knowledgeable Staff is great. But, I waited 2 hours for a rapid in and out 5 min visit. Previously made clear during post op visit to not overdo things, and to hold up abduction machine. Come back three months later and he’s accusing me I neglected things. He is seeing me so fast he forgot that he previously told me to be cautious of outside lateral muscle, that were cut into. I Worked up from using a cane to ten mile walks, worked up to an hour on rowing machine and can do an hour on elliptical. It would have been nice to talk about X-ray, but that was not part of the protocol. I was shuffled along to check out.

He's a great listener and a very sympathetic physician. His diagnosis and course of action was very clear. If I have knee problems again, I'm certainly going to ask for him again.
