I did not see Dr Thornsberry but saw the PA. Loved her but can't give a 5 starr on the review since i didn't actually see him.
He's the best!!
Excellent doctor very caring person for your well being.
I had a total knee replacement 11 weeks ago. I used a walker for 24 hours, and a cane for 3-4 weeks after that. I've finished physical therapy and walk without pain! I can go for hours without any conscious thought of my knee, but am not quite at 100% yet due to strength & endurance, which will come with time. The recovery timeline exceeded my wildest expectations by several months
Always professional and kind.
I did not actually see Dr thorns berry, but his PA was very nice and knowledgeable
