Patient Reviews
Sep 11, 2024
I selected Dr Nawab, after two other Orthopaedics refused to give me a knee replacement until I turned 50. As a 45 year old, fitness instructor, this was not an option for me. Why transition to a sedentary job and risk more health damage?? I am so glad I didn’t settle, and sought after a highly knowledgeable, professional and compassionate surgeon. I researched him beforehand, and was very impressed by his accomplishments, and experience. Right now, I am about 3 weeks post-op, and though my recovery is ongoing, and the PT is tough, I can already feel a difference in my joint strength and stability. I’m a Dr Nawab fan for life. Can’t recommend him enough.
