Family members and friends who used Dr. Locker had no problem w/ infection (or pain -post surgury).
Always INQUIRE about their post surgury infection ratios! Should be excellent, very, very low incidences.

You'd be Discharged same day from the Ortho Institute Surg Center. No Pain due to a 72 hour pain blocker, then my family reported no pain at all.
Most people have trouble with sleeping at night, getting comfortable. Recliners and TV, unless you want to take the pain pills.
Can elect to have the surgery at Ocala West Hospital and you'll be released the same day too, but it takes a lot longer, due to hospital hoops on discharge procedures.

Excellent anestheologist at the State of the Art Surgery Center, which is located right next to the very large Ortho Institute.

I used to live in Ocala and many Pickleball, Softball, weekend warrior Villagers will tell you that's where they SMH and still go.

Surgery is fast... but you'll be there about 6 hours. He does a fabulous incision... barely be able to see in 6 mos., won't be left with the scissor scar!

Cortesone injections work for awhile, but eventually, it's time.

Good luck.
