Patient Reviews
Feb 19, 2025
Dr Chimento did a total knee replacement for me. This Doctor is OUTSTANDING. He explained my procedure in details, answered EVERY question I had. Dr. Chimento ran into some complications that I had from a previous surgery and he FIXED it. This man is an awesome doctor. Oh did I mention I had ZERO pain after my procedure? That’s right No pain at all. Just mild discomfort. I recommend Dr Chimento for all your replacement needs.
