After on improperly installed uni-knee and an oversized revision that left my knee bent and weak I was very fortunate to pick Doctor Berghausen from all of the available Orthopedic doctors in Tucson. The Doctor was proactive and aggressive in in finding a solution to my condition. Through his direction I am know out of pain and my knee is able to straighten out. At 67 I can do a deep knee bend and rise with no support or help. I now sleep through the night and can turn over in bed with no pain

I had my knees replaced 18 yrs ago and over the past couple of months my left knee started hurting to the point I could barely walk so I made an appt with Dr. B to find out if the problem was with the replacement. As it turns out the knee had almost completely failed and was beginning to fall apart (my words) He schedule surgery for me within 10 days which is unheard of for me anyway. The care I received and end result is outstanding. Both he & his staff are great. I highly recommend him.

He did two knee replacements within seven weeks. the new protocol and his skill allowed me to walk without a walker or cane from the second post-op day. Love his bedside manner and involvement of me in my procedural process.
