Yes...the Mayo Clinic, if you can get in, has great surgeons.

I have a friend who is scheduled for a Jiffy Knee from Dr. Kavanaugh in Scottsdale. I asked my incredible surgeon, Dr. Jimmy Chow, what he thought of the whole Jiffy Knee process. He replied that it entirely depends on the skill of the surgeon. I told him it was Dr. Kavanaugh and Dr. Chow said he had not heard anything bad about him. That is a compliment as Dr. Chow spends about 20% of his time doing revisions of other doctors' work.

I think Jimmy Chow is the best anywhere for knee and hip replacement. But he doesn't take insurance or Medicare. His fee must be paid to him but insurance covers the rest of the costs, at least for me. If he thinks that Dr. Kavanaugh is good, he is good.

So I would say, in order, Jimmy Chow, Mayo Clinic, Timothy Kavanaugh.
