Patient Reviews
Oct 16, 2023
I had been given the run around by several other orthopedic doctors. I had 19 treatments synvisc treatments. It felt it was time for a second opinion. I really don’t recall how I got Dr Girlingsname. I made an appointment they took 8X-rays. He came in the exam room and the first thing he said was you have been walking bone on bone. When do you want to schedule the replacement surgery? Shortly there after I was scheduled and my knee was replaced. They had me up and walking shortly after the surgery. My stay in the hospital was relatively short. PT began in the hospital, then at home. And then outpatient PT locally. I recommend Dr Girling. He is very skilled is craft!
