My right knee replaced two years ago, aches all the time, always stiff, very discouraged. They told me 20% of patients will have issues. It seems like it has made an “old woman” out of me.

I have had one knee replacement and going in for the second soon. I have had great results and it was a complicated one. Dr. Freiberg is a wonderful doctor.

Dr Friedberg is an outstanding surgeon. Replaced both knees. Has an incredible amount of respect from mgh staff. As for me, I enjoyed his sense of humor and great bedside manor.

Dr. Freiberg performed a partial knee replacement on my right knee two years ago. Since that time, I have complete mobility and have been pain free. Would strongly recommend him.
