Patient Reviews
Jan 12, 2024
Dr. Vittetoe replaced my right knee and 7 weeks later, my left knee. At 8 weeks from the second surgery I am doing very well. I am still in the rehabilitation process, but gaining strength weekly. I would highly recommend Dr. Vittetoe and his DMOS team! They are very skilled, were concerned with my needs/questions and have been extremely helpful through the whole process! A big ‘thank you’ to Dr. Vittetoe, Nikki Twedt, PA-C and the entire DMOS and Methodist West teams!
