After a tremendous amount of professional care from Dr. Nguyen, physical therapists, a hospital staff, I was released later in the afternoon on tuesday. I had excellent follow up care that included Dr. Nguyens monitoring my physical rehabilitation, which was very successful.
I am relating my personal experience with a very qualified health care professional. I don't care who uses what doctor for any procedure. I know that Dr. Nguyen is not going to risk his patients well being for any reason.
Bagboy I also had a TKR by Dr Nguyen just as you describe. BUt a prior post is stating Dr Nguyen is also doing Outpatient TKR surgery at an Orlando Surgical Center with no hospital stay...that is what I find amazing. According to the prior post Medicare patients cannot have it done this way for Medicare requires at least one night in the hospital
