I had my left knee done by Dr Duke and my right knee done by Dr Nguyen. I would never say anything bad about Dr Duke. I had good results but with more pain and a longer convalescence when he did my left knee. The side incision itself by Dr Nguyen is not magic; it is that he does not cut the muscle; he moves it and that is why there is less pain and the convalescence is shorter. I am very happy with the results but, honestly, there are still some rough patches. I used a walker for 3 weeks with Dr Duke's surgery, 1 day with Dr Nguyen. A cane was used about a month with Dr Duke, it was used on and off for 2 weeks with Dr Nguyen.
