Greetings. I'm new to the forum, though an old hand at knee pain. I've finally admitted that it is time to get total knee replacement on my left knee. I'm searching for the best surgeon I can find. I live in Denton, Texas, and though I've had three arthroscopies here, I'm not sure I want the same surgeon to do the big deed. I'm willing to go to Dallas, Plano, Frisco, etc.

So if this is allowed on this forum, I would appreciate hearing any advice from my local peeps.

You'll be seeing me a lot in the coming months, I suspect.

Hello @drtee1953

Welcome! If you look at the blue bar at the top of the page, you will see a Heading entitled " Find a Clinic". Select that and you will get a page where you can enter your zip code and it will come up with a list of clinics in your area.

Alternatively, @Jamie may be able to help, as she has a list.

One you have some names, make inquiries like how many knee replacements tha surgeon does in a year, what is his/her philosophy about recovery? And any other questions you need to ask (make a list). You need a surgeon who specialises in knees (and possibly hips) and who does a lot of replacements.

Once you have a short list, come back and ask again here - you might get someone with some personal experience of your candidates.
 
Thanks, but I thought I could skip a few steps by seeing if anyone here had experience with anyone specific.

@drtee1053, so pleased that you have joined us here on the forum. I am sure that if you have a little patience several of our members from Texas will be in touch with some suggestions.

In the meantime, feel free to browse the Library. We have excellent articles on all things "knee".
 
Thank you! Yes, I've been reading a lot. I'm kind of obsessive about researching this kind of thing.
 
Here is a possible surgeon for you:

Dr Huo

Southwestern Medical Center

Texas 75390-8848

I love my OS, Dr. Gurpreet Bajaj in Fort Worth ( another office in Burleson). He did my hip and bilateral knees. His PA, Adam Bruntz, is wonderful and assists with his surgeries. I had my surgeries at THR Harris Methodist FW. My surgeries went well and I had minimal bruising and swelling. I felt like he really listened to my concerns and always treated me with the utmost respect. They are both wonderful with answering questions and exploring options. Good luck!
