Dr Kerina, Tri County Orthopedics, did total knees for me in 12/08 and 01/12 with excellent results both times. Both were very challenging knees. He, like Dr Duke, does well over 300 knees a year, by far more than any other local docs.

I believe he is an excellent surgeon and the dedicated joint replacement wing at Leesburg Hospital is fantastic.

You gotta do the therapy!!!

Another option to explore is Dr Steven (?) Nguyen who is located closer to Orlando. He does seminars up here occasionally. He does a different type of side incision that supposedly involves less pain, less cutting of muscle, and faster healing times. I have talked to a couple of people who had good results with him.
