I had both knees done by Dr Nguyen (Dec 2014 and May 2015). Each time the pain level was no more than a tooth ache...yes I did take pain meds for the first week or 2 but bottom line was the pain was minimal. Pain meds also helped me sleep and with the PT. I was walking un-aided (no walker no cane) 2-3 days after surgery. Now I didn't do anything dumb....I went to PT faithfuly, did home exercises, and did not rush into golf or other activities although I did start golf at 7 weeks.

I definitely would recommend Dr Nguyen
