If he does your first total joint - he is done with you forever on that joint. Says he "doesn't do revisions" if you need another surgery. He won't even see you. Unbelievable.

Chenger won't come see you if you have a problem. If you are out of your "global" he'll say whoever is on ortho call for whatever ER you go to has to take over your care and clean up his mess.

I would have no other doctor than Dr.Joseph Chenger if I were to get my knees fixed again. As far as I am concerned,he is the very best there is. I had my surgery 7 years ago and have zero issues with my new knees. I had both done at the same time, which I would do again if I had to, and was walking on my own shortly after the surgery. Dr Chenger is number one in my book !!

Dr. Chenger , in our opinion, has been and continues to be at the top of his profession since we met him 8 years ago. His knee replacements are 'quad sparing' meaning the quadricep is not as impacted as other methods are. He also uses an epidural which wears off faster than general anesthesia We feel blessed to have found Dr. Chenger and HIGHLY recommend him.

Dr. Chenger replaces my left knee 3-1/2 years ago and I’d do it again in the next minute. I got along incredibly well and have full range of motion. Not one regret or complaint. I will go back for my right knee when it’s time. I have sent three patients to him, and they all had their surgery with Dr. Chenger. They feel the same as I do and would go back again. I live 250 miles from Nashville and it has been well worth the travel back and forth. I would recommend Dr. Chenger to anyone.
