I hate to be negative. I am writing this because my Right knee replacement surgery has not been successful. I recognize the potential for poor results but I would not recommend this surgeon.
He does not listen. He never talked to me again after I started complaining of continuing pain starting week 7 post surgery. His PA tried but he also gave up when the pain continued. Based on a second surgeon and a third surgeon this guy is definitely second rate. I am stuck with a painful knee, getting worse and need to have it redone if I want to continue walking.

Three months ago I was walking outside when I felt a pop behind my knee. I was falling down when I grabbed on to a fence and was taken home by some wonderful strangers. I was in terrible pain. Christoffersen told me I had a Baker's cyst. No MRI. He wouldn't discuss any other diagnosis, even when I told him my sister had torn her meniscus. For my pain? Tylenol. Last week I went to another doctor who took an MRI. Results- torn meniscus, PCL ligament tear, sprain of MCL. I wish I could sue him.
