Default knee replacement

Has anyone had knee replacement done by Dr Steve Nguyen??? If so I would very much like to speak with you about your surgery and recovery.

Thank You.

This is very timely. I amcurrently sitting in the waiting room for my husband who just had a knee replaement by Nguyen about 1/2 hr ago. Surgery went well. Dr. Nguyen is wonderful. We highly recommend him. Took 3 months to get first appt. But only 2months after thatfor surgery.

Just put his name in the search on talk of the villages and you will get tons of positive replies about Dr Nguyen. He can not be rated high enough as I think he is a miracle caring doctor. He is truly worth the waiting time to have a surgery from him. I was amazed at how quick I recovered and the excellent care I received before and after and the hospital was A-1 as far as concern and helpfulness and care. I was golfing at 2 1/2 weeks and walking the same day down the halls. It has been 2 months now and all I can say is amazing- I am having my badly needed right knee done in November when I get back to Florida and it is the best decision I can ever make. He also has a wed sit on line Optimotion-orthooaedics.com I highly recommend him and no one else!

I, too, need both knees replaced. Would be very interested in talking with someone who has had Dr. Nguyen do their surgery.

Knee REPLACEMENT and golfing 2 1/2 weeks later!
Very untypical.
I had a meniscus repair done 5 weeks ago today! Three weeks physical therapy.....expect clearance for walking hills/golf 6/13.

Everybody is different so do your homework and have it confirmed replacement is indeed the best option.

Good luck!
