    Went several visits needed double knee replacement. He told me 90 days 90% pain free.
    I’ve had rods in my back and never hurt so bad.
    He wouldn’t see anymore so he sent me to his NP which gave me knee injections. I wasn’t looking for pain meds I had them from my pain management for my back. I’ve talked to people with knee replacements didn’t hurt to bad he didn’t do.
    Oh yeah he came to my prep with dirty boots on.
    I was told spinal tap for pain but I have to many fusions. He’s nice but so is a salesman. All about money don’t make my mistake!!
