06/27/2019

I was in for a visit to coordinate my scheduled surgery and pre op testing. This is my second knee replacement this year. I think the best thing is that I am willing to have the second surgery five months after the first one.

06/27/2019

Though the doctor was advised that I was seeking a second opinion, he had x-rays showing the cusp of my hip socket was not fully formed which would ultimately wear and be painful. I fully respect the conclusion . However, no examination was performed to determine whether the discomfort I was experiencing was indeed the hip and not my back, muscles or some other problem. I was informed that various factors may contribute to discomfort and when the discomfort became severe enough, I might consider the replacement of the hip joint. Though this may be a true, I am not comfortable with the knowledge I acquired. Otherwise, the doctor was polite, and knowledgeable and confident and should I ultimately require a hip replacement I will definitely return and request it be performed by this doctor.

He will actually call you back in person if you have a question or concern. He gives honest advice and takes time with his patients. I also very much appreciate his conservative approach.

Lastly, I had explained that I felt it was time for my right knee replacement and because I didn't want to have it done before the end of the year, he had his staff give me tentative surgical date for January, 2020. [Single best thing is...] He listens to me as the patient.
