He is an amazing Surgeon I have waited 3 years to find a surgeon to replace a failed total knee replacement. He is the only Surgeon who would do this and I can’t thank him enough. He replaced my hip first perfect now. I am so lucky to have found him while in the hospital for pain and unable to walk.
