Patient Reviews
Mar 05, 2025
I was pretty apprehensive about having my knee replaced... after watching some surgeries online, I realized what a giant deal it was! Dr. Zaidi was absolutely amazing! I had my surgery - did some prehab, and was back at the gym 3 weeks post surgery!!! It's improved greatly over the past year, and today I had my 1-year follow-up where I was able to report my knee is about 98% improved! I would absolutely recommend Dr. Zaidi for his expertise, his knowledge & his kind soul. If you're pondering having it done, don't wait - post-replacement life is amazing...
