I contacted Dr. Ortiguera for a 2nd opinion, as a local orthopedic surgeon recommended a knee replacement. Dr. Ortiguera is extremely knowledgeable and professional and has a very pleasant demeanor. He provided me with his recommendations and really listened to my concerns. I will follow his directions, and, should I need a future knee replacement, I will certainly contact Dr. Ortiguera with no hesitation.

Great Surgeon, Total knee replacement with no pain and was walking the halls of Mayo with a walker the same day . I don't need the walker but push it around to make my PT happy. Day 8 postop and couldn't be happier Wish I had done this sooner, I did a lot of research and the difference between bad and good results is the Doctor and Dr. Ortiguera is the best.

Excellent surgeon. He did a wonderful knee replacement on me after a kick boxing accident. Love his knowledge and bedside manner. I'm from Montana and he's the best surgeon in the U.S.!
