I too only saw Dr Duke once, before the operation, which I didn't mind. It was no biggie for me.
Maybe someone can tell us if Dr Nguyen personally sees patients after the operation?
Dr Duke is very popular, a superstar. On the morning of my operation, I was the first of the day, I looked up on the schedule board and noticed he had seven operations that day. And he operates three days a week. For months after the pandemic shutdown he went to four days per week. He does hips too which are not as hard as TKR.
When I decided to have a TKR, I narrowed it down to either Duke or Nguyen. I initially chose Duke because he had fewer negative reviews, I'm glad I did.
