I had both knees totally replaced in late July 2016, by Dr. Firestone. I'm 62. I should have done the procedures at the least, ten years ago. The constant pain, bowing of my knees and the inability to walk finally inspired me to find the best surgeon. I did my due diligence, as far as researching surgeons and facilities. This was my first ever surgery. I had consultations with 3 and decided on Dr. Firestone. I'm glad that I selected him and did both knees during the one surgery. I think he is one of the best. I have no complaints. I have no limp, no pain, though I am very sorry that I waited so long. You owe it to yourself to meet with him. I'd like to add one more piece of personal advice. By month three, join a LA type fitness place with an indoor pool. The water therapy, by walking the pool and exercising the knee gave me an amazing range of motion, flexibility and strength. I can even skip now.
