New techniques for less invasive knee replacement. Very successful and couldn't have better care than at waterman hospital in taveras and his staff

Arnie,
I would recommend a knee surgeon out of the area. Dr Jose Amundaray of Southeast orthopedics Jacksonville, FL. (904)634-0640. He was formerly with The FL knee and orthopedic centers in Clearwater, FL. He has treated over thirty residents that I am aware of as well as myself. Check him out. You'll like him. Great staff. Hopefully this will help.

Drs. Duke & Nguyen are very good.....I had knee surgery 7 months ago by Dr. Cook {tri-county ortho} I'm still swollen & in pain! Would never go back there!

Dr. James Duke in Ocala. He was awarded Top Orthopedic Doctor of the Year by the American Orthopedic Association a couple years ago. He has replaced both of my husbands knees and he gets down on his knees as always. Recommend him very highly.

Highly recommend Dr Kerina or Dr Williams from same practice

Had a complete knee replacement by Dr Carl Ollivierre and am very pleased. Absolutely no pain. Was a very torn up knee. Have to replace the other one as well and will definitely use Olivierre

Perhaps one of these doctors doesn't accept medicare, not the other way around.

Great job! Had a total knee replacement and was back to Pickleball in no time. BUT, I did leg exercises BEFORE the operation and lost some weight to make it easier on the new knee. If I ever need the other knee done, that's who will do it.

Dr Locker, Ocala Orthopedic Institute

Dr. Steven Nguyen in Orlando 407-355-3120 does the replacement from the side which really shortens recovery time. My husband had it in October and was golfing exec courses 4 weeks later. Getting his other one done in January! He has a long wait so get an appt and get in line with all the Villagers. Good luck!
