Knee Replacement

Lucinda Berninger

Dr. Carli and his staff could not have been more patient and kind with this 82 year old woman who was nervous and very scared about knee surgery. It was a five year journey for me to finally decide to bite the bullet and get one of my knees replaced. The operation was successful thanks to Dr Carli, and I am now six weeks into physical therapy. I am so pleased with the results and am now looking to have my other knee done as soon as possible. Dr. Carli always took the time to answered my many and I do mean many questions. I never felt rushed at my appointments or that my concerns were trivial. He helped me get to the point where I was finally comfortable with my decision to go ahead with the knee replacement. His staff, including Ryan, Shai, Lily, and Lexie, were most helpful in setting up appointments and x-rays, getting physical therapy, giving cortisone shots, and help in the screening room. The care that I received during my hospital stay at HSS was great. A million thanks to Dr. Carli, his staff and the staff at HSS.
