Four years ago, I had both knees replaced, and I honestly could not be happier with the results. My surgeon did an outstanding job from start to finish. The care, professionalism, and skill throughout the entire process gave me so much confidence, and it truly changed my quality of life. Four years later, I’m still doing great — staying active, moving comfortably, and living without the constant pain I had before surgery. I’m incredibly grateful for the excellent care I received and would highly recommend this surgeon to anyone considering knee replacement surgery. Thank you for giving me my mobility and freedom back!

Dr Palumbo was very knowledgeable about the metal on metal issues that may occur. I'm hopeful to not need a revision, so we are watching for any changes.
