"Extremely pleased with the result of my TKR with Dr.Ezzet. His staff was always responsive when I needed assistance. I took advantage of the beautiful warm weather and resumed swimming after a month. The exercise I was able to participate in allowed me to have a faster recovery than I anticipated. If I ever need another surgery Dr. Ezzet would be my only choice."

We had been monitoring my hip for several years and Dr. Ezzet had patiently explained all the pros and cons well and patiently answered my many questions, while he never pushed me into the procedure.
