Patient Reviews
Aug 24, 2022
This is my third review of Dr. Balkissoon. From 12/2019 - 8/2022 he has performed one TKA (knee) and just did both THA (hips) this year. I agree with every good thing that people have posted about him and his practice. I had been living with pain for the last 20 years. I was sure I was going to be in a wheelchair by the time I turned 65. Dr Balkissoon started joint replacements on my chronic osteoarthritis when I was 58. I feel 25 years younger without pain now. He just did my right hip last week and it feels so good already. I didn’t really want posterior hip replacement but after he replaced my knee, I knew I could trust him with my hips. One more knee replacement in 2023 and I will be great shape to move around more. He has given me my quality of life back. The people at Highland hospital and his offices really like him. I think this says it all. If you’re looking for a surgeon to take care of your needs, he is the guy. Thank you Dr Balkissoon.
