My results are: Even though I was told I was a good candidate for the gel injections and had a series of 6, after about 2 months my knee is clearly not better and to the point I have an appointment to hopefully schedule a complete knee replacement. I'm going to Dr Nguyen who did my right knee and in my opinion is clearly the Dr to go to for knee replacement. He does side replacement and a friend told me yesterday he went in at 5:30am and was released home about 11am. Dr Nguyen associate did his knee but Dr Nguyen assisted. After the surgery he was in minimal pain, no walker and out to dinner a week later walking pretty good I think. They are soon opening an office in The Villages or close by.

I think you've made a great choice and from personal experience, Dr. Nguyen IS the go to doctor for TKRs. Good Luck!!!
