Wish I would have not put off my surgery for so long, he does so much to prevent pain. My pain for my first knee replacement was horrific causing me to put it off so long. This was done by another doctor, the pain with this replacement is so much less that the first one. It has only been 5 weeks since the surgery with Dr. Noble. I walk perfectly already. I only have minimal pain with the bending of my leg.

Had arthroscopy surgery and hurt worse than before surgery... Wish I had done my research on this surgery. Dr Cohen never explained I could and would still be in excruciating pain... I will seek help elsewhere
