Highly successful total knee replacement

I have so many positive comments for my highly successful total left knee replacement surgery; I’ll try to pick just a few. Dr. Gilbert REALLY knows his field; he and his entire staff is focused and experienced and were more than willing to help me understand every aspect of the surgery, from what to expect before, during and after. Everyone involved took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and concerns. The day after the surgery, my wife commented I wasn’t limping anymore. Thank you Dr. Gilbert.

New knee feels better than it has since my youth

I am 73 years old and received a total knee replacement at Rex Hospital on June 18th, 2012 by Dr. Gilbert. I found him and his staff to always be totally concerned about your problem and willing to do their very best to answer any and all of my questions. I was totally happy with everything and my new knee feels better than it has since my youth.
