| - I had total knee replacement with Dr Jimmy Chow. He is by far the best knee and hip surgeon you ever want to meet. He is kind,caring with excellent bed side manner and will spend time with you. You may have to wait in the lobby for a while, but its worth the long wait. Dr Chow was recommended by a Radiologist friend in IL. Nurse Brecia was my attending nurse and another sweetheart. Dr Chow has quite the reputation nationwide. I had surgery in 2012 and the knee is still doing great! At that time, my surgery was done at St. Lukes Medical Center. Dr Chow appeared in a totally while suit covered from head to toe and with totally covered head gear. The operating room was totally germ free!! How many hospitals can you say that about? The Dr had me moving almost immediately after surgery. The faster you are working with your surgery leg, the better. I was placed on a machine almost immediately. You do not want any blood clots so listen to the Dr. I lived in Surprise so it wasn't an easy location for me to commute to, however, knowing the Dr's history, I would never allow anyone else to do knee or hip surgery. The Dr uses the latest technology to do his procedures. Hey takes your MRI and digitally builds the mold to fit your knee, not the other way around. I met with three different companies before I felt I could trust Dr Chow. The others all used old methods. No one else was as advance or had the training Dr Chow comes with. The knee was replaced with Verilast knee technology performance powered by Smith & Nephew. Its been tested to last 30 years!! If you take a tour in the lobby you will see the advancement they have made in this area. I would not hesitate to live with pain ever again. I received excellent care at the hospital and needed to stay a couple nights. The nurses are trained to handle knee and hip surgery patients on that floor. The food at the hospital was very good. After recovery, it was therapy. Within 3 weeks I had reached 110% movement. This is a big part of your recovery. Do your exercises! If you don't, Dr Chow will break the healing process and start all over again!! Don't delay your surgery. Have faith,trust and confidence in your Dr and go for it! Know that he is the best in his field and there is nothing to worry about. Thank you Dr Chow! By the way, Dr Chow's father is also a surgeon!! Can't wait for my husband to switch insurance next year and see Dr Chow11 for a torn meniscus!
