Patient Reviews
Jan 11, 2025
I have been visiting Dr. Wathne's office for a couple of years for knee care. Ultimately this year it was decided that it was time for a Total Knee Replacement on both knees. I did my surgeries five months apart and Dr. Wathne and his staff have the process down. The quality of care from the first surgery to the second was identical. Communication about what the process was and prepping for surgery was great. Everyone on the team was knowledgeable and took the time to answer my questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Wathne and his team if you are considering a TKR.
