I had knee replacement surgery Feb 2018. I was very Impressed by Dr. Meyer and his staff from presurgery, surgery and post surgery. I was walking in 2 weeks. Great care was given to me and because I followed exercise, preventive infection and care protocols, my outcomes were outstanding. Best of all no more Pain!!!
