Does anyone have a referral to an orthopedist knee surgeon in the area of the villages. I am truly grateful for any recommendations.
Thank you

My left knee was replaced this past Nov. 19, 24 in Tampa by Dr Stephen Lyons from the Florida Orthopedic In institute. He used a prosthetic device that he helped design called the PERSONA IQ. Google it. Walked the same day and home the same day. In January I was back to riding my bike. Very little pain and the rehab can be done for 2 weeks at home and then at CORA in the villages. Totally happy and medicare covers it. 5 stars of 5.
