Dr. Knierim met with me in a timely fashion, spending a good amount of time explaining my X-rays and outlining a plan of treatment that would begin with the least invasive methods. She explained that if these did not produce the results I was wanting we could then pursue surgery. I appreciated her manner as well as her methods. Surgery is not always the first answer.

I didn't think after almost a year and a half from my knee replacement I would still have knee pain. More importantly, my foot, which has had numbness since the tkr, has never improved.
