You will hear this name over and over. The very best is Dr. Duke in Ocala. I believe he has done over 3000 hips and knees. He is a graduate of Univ. of Florida Medical school and completed his internship, residency, and fellowship there. I believe he is also part of the faculty there (and UF has an excellent orthopedic department). He did my total left knee last August and I was quickly back to full activities. Good luck with whatever you decide.
