Dinh at Optimotion. Surgery is done in Orlando. If you request it, all post-op checkups can be done locally. Optimotion has an office on 44E between Buena Vista and Morse. Recovery for me was 6 weeks on each knee, done 3 months apart. I was in otherwise good physical shape at the time of surgery. The incision is lateral. Nobody else does that. The advantage is that there is no incision through the quadriceps. Walking the same day (with a walker). They insist on using a walker for the initial few days because the internal anesthetic reduces nerve signals that you normally use for balance.

The most important thing is doing the full rehabilitation daily post surgery.
