I had 3 surgeries done by Dr. Nguyen in 2015. One was for a Morel Lesion that Tri-County Ortho (Dr. Tankson) said was a hematoma and to be patient, it would go away. Monthly visits for 18 months after my fall and it still was huge. When I got an appointment with Dr. Nguyen in Maitland for my knees he took one look at it and knew what it was, performed surgery and took out a huge sac of fluid, then 3 months later did my left knee and 3 months after that did my right knee. All were done in Orlando in his day surgery center. He now has an office in Orlando too. I was not 65 at the time. If you are on Medicare, Medicare requires an overnight stay and those surgeries are now performed at Dr. Phillips Hospital in Orlando by him. He's really good. He as done 25 knee surgeries on my street in Pennecamp alone and you may have to wait a long time for a surgery appointment.
Another alternative for you (which 2 girls on my street have done and were quite successful with short recovery time) is Tri-County Ortho on 466 (Dr. Mitchell). He is lifting muscles, not cutting and it's very similar to Dr. Nguyen's procedure. Probably a much shorter wait time. Good Luck!
