He has a technique where he cuts from the side rather than the front and the healing is much faster.
I had my left knee replaced last February 2016 and my new knee is perfect. No pain, range of motion is 95%. Certainly,I was careful to no overdo when healing (no pickleball for several months)and did PT even on days even when not scheduled. But I am thankful beyond measure because of his talent, skill, knowledge, surgery technique, bedside manner.
I just had my knee replaced Tuesday by Dr. Nguyen and it is amazing. I didn't need any pain medication after my overnight (only did an overnight because it is what Medicare mandates). I am not using a walker or cane since day two. I am only 3 degrees from being where Dr. Nguyen wants me to be. He is amazing and so worth the trip. His staff is incredible and I will have the other knee done in January.
