“Everything went incredibly well and already I’m seeing great results! I didn’t feel pressured or rushed at any point to have the surgery done, and everyone that I met were incredibly welcoming and really professional. Thanks so much for the amazing work you have carried out on both of my knees. For the first time in over 20 years I am totally pain free!”
