Knee Replacement - Dr. Faris in Ocala

[Phanatic Luvr]

I am hoping to get a little information, either positive or negative, about Dr. Wagdi Faris, an Orthopaedic Surgeon in Ocala.
My husband has been seeing him for about 3 years now and is comfortable with him and his practice. He now needs a knee replacement and we have a difference in opinion in regards to who should do his surgery. As I have never met with Dr. Faris (we have an apt next week to discuss surgery), I know everyone recommends Dr. Duke in Ocala.
My real questions here is ... has anyone had any experience with Dr. Faris and if so, was it a good or bad experience.

Check out Dr Steve Nguyen...totaly differet approach in knee replacement. He uses a lateral incision (from the side) while using the same stryker knee. He has an office near Home Depot here in TV on Fridays. Results are amazing...just go to his waiting room and talk to some of his patients. The down side is wait time to get a new knee is about 6 months after you first see the Dr which can take 4-6 weeks for the initial appointment.
