I have heard a lot of people say recovery is much faster when surgery is done on the side of the knee, not cutting tendons. Thanks for your input.

Just for the record, I had a very good experience with Dr. Duke also. Almost no pain. Walking the day after. Golf, softball, bowling, biking within weeks. (By the way, Dr. Duke has done many, many replacements. I think you will find the vast majority of his patients are very satisfied.)
Regardless of who does your surgery...do the post op therapy. I'm convinced that makes or breaks.
