I am seeing Nguyen in March for my other knee. Dr Duke is a great surgeon but technology changes and it seems that Nguyen's patients are much quicker to recover.

Sorry to hear that. With all due respect, I appear to have had much better results with Dr. Duke. I have no numbness and recovery was surpassingly quick.
