Before I had my knee surgery, I asked this same question on the TOTV forum. Most of the replies were recommending 3 different doctors.
The first was Dr. Steven Nguyen in Orlando. He was highly recommended but many comments indicated there was a long wait time to see him. Plus, being in Orlando was a negative because of the long drive to see him. However, one person said he may now have an office on 44.
The second was Dr. James Duke, The Orthopedic Institute, Ocala. Being in Ocala was a big plus but some of the comments were that you only saw his PA for your review appointment and only saw him for the surgery.
The third was Dr. Michael Messieh, MD. In addition to an office in Clermont, he has an office in The Villages, near the hospital on 441.
All three do the side incision and all three were recommended by their patients. I had mine done by Dr. Messieh and was very pleased with the results and how well the office staff handled all the pre and post op steps. But, I believe any of these would be great choices.
