She ended up having the surgery by Michael Messieh, who sees patients here in TV and who operates in Clermont. Her results could not be more perfect; she was able to walk (with support) in less than a week and never bothered having the second knee done, as she feels so strong with the one 'new' knee that she doesn't feel the need to do the other. Dr. Messieh's phone number is 407-592-1921.

Dr. Michael Messieh is highly recommended for doing knees that have been totally messed up by other surgeons. Excellent man. Will not do surgery until it is absolutely necessary.

If recovery time is less, why not the side approach according to Dr. Williams?
