How did I learn so much? It took me over 50 years, honey!
I looked up your doctor and have found something interesting on Health Grades, a site that rates surgeons according to what they do and how much of it. This is your chap's ratings
It shows that he is not an exclusive knee surgeon but actually does an awful lot of other stuff too! Including hip surgery, occupational health and even PT! In other words (and by my reckoning) he's a bit of a generalist. So while he might well know a lot about knee replacement, he doesn't actually specialise in it. 22 minutes for a TKR is also a bit astounding too. Never known that before.
However, that doesn't necessarily make him a bad knee surgeon, just maybe not someone who exclusively does this kind of surgery. With any of this surgery, more is better so I would love to know how many TKRs he actually does each year. I would always want to find a chap who does about 250-300.
I trust know the old saying
Q: Can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?
A: Practice, practice, practice!
:wink1:
Another point - was that MRI done since that surgery?
