I went to see Dr. Kozinn a year-and-a-half ago thinking I was going to need a full knee replacement. After looking at the X-Rays, examining my knee and talking with me about the sites of pain, he indicated that he was 75 per cent sure that we would only need a partial (uni-compartmental) replacement. He said he wouldn't know for sure until he got into the surgery because he couldn't see the other side of the interior of the knee. I quickly gave him permission to use his own judgment and do what was best.
To my delight, when I woke up the nurse indicated I did indeed only needed a partial replacement as Dr. Kozinn suspected. As a result of his excellent diagnosis and absolute honesty, my rehabilitation went much quicker than it would have with a full replacement.
It goes without saying that I think Dr. Kozinn is the most outstanding orthopedic surgeon I know. He has enormous technical skills. But more than that, he is a man of unparalleled integrity who does what is best for his patients. I couldn't be happier with the results and should I ever need the other knee replaced, I will travel however far it is necessary to use him again.
