To anyone considering a joint replacement, do not hesitate! I was in terrible pain for two years with arthritis that became unbearable. I had to stop all sports and could not bear to stand for more than 10 minutes because of swelling. After completing a partial knee replacement, I was pain-free in four weeks! And back on the tennis court in three months! I was diligent about PT and had a fabulous recovery. I can't thank Dr. Mayman and his team more. I know this sounds too good to be true, but the recovery went exactly as planned and I got my life back. THANK YOU!
