While I am sure we have some great doctors in the Villages, if it were my knee, I take the time to drive to Vero Beach and contact Dr Nichols. One of the best. He uses a system where no tendons are cut and the healing is quick. I've had several neighbors here in Port St Lucie where we also have a condo use him. They're up walking the same day as surgery and only a short rehab. I had cartiledge torn and had cortisone shots, but they would only give me two a year. A week later arthopedic surgery. Been great ever since. I'm lucky! It might be worth the short drive to Vero even if just a consult. He does free seminars on occasions.
