Knee Replacement

Steven Book

After playing tennis I was in constant pain and completely sleep deprived. I was self conscious due to my poor knee health and bowlegged appearance. I felt distraught never thinking that I would be able to play sports again. I was very unhappy, and decided to have total knee replacement surgery on my right knee.

Dr. MacGillivray is a wonderful surgeon. He truly went above and beyond to help me reach my goals. To my surprise and in fact one month after surgery, I was able to sleep though the night for the first time in years. I can’t thank Dr. MacGillivray enough. In just three short months, I am now pain-free and I have been able to resume my active lifestyle without any limitations. Dr. MacGillivray, you have given me a total redo. I now have the best tennis knee ever. Thank you.
