Hi Steve- Thank you for sharing about your experience. I live in Arizona and need to talk to a knee specialist. I won’t use the Dr who did my hip replacement. Who did you use? Thank you! Sue

Used Dr. Jimmy Chow. I believe he is the best in Arizona and possibly in the US. There is one caveat however: he doesn't take medicare nor insurance. I had to pay his fee separately but the rest of the costs were covered by insurance.

If that is a no/no for you, then the Mayo Clinic has several excellent surgeons and there are several practitioners in Arizona who are also good. If you want to go Jiffy knee, Dr. Timothy Kavanaugh is good (a friend of mine was scheduled with him and I asked Dr. Chow about him and he was positive about him.
