Visited For Knee Pain

This is the first time I met a doctor who examined me carefully, listened to me with attention and explained clearly about the problem, treatment options and the likely outcomes. He was quite friendly and easy to talk to. Today is the first time I consulted him and I hope the outcome will be good. I met him when he did hip replacement for my mother in Columbia Asia, I was impressed with the way he treated the patient and the family.That is why I decided to consult him when I started getting pain in my left knee.
