Patient Reviews
Oct 27, 2024
I had an appointment with Dr. Paynter and it was very informative. He gave me an injection for my knee which helped and also a prescription for painkillers which worked considerably well. I have an appointment to go back in about four weeks and we’ll see then if I’m going to go with the knee replacement.
