I had the best surgeon from Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in NYC! If you are willing to travel as far as White Plains NY.. his office is now at their fairly new ambulatory surgical center connected with Columbia Pres Hospital. Called THE ONE in White Plains, Westchester County His name is Dr. Jeffrey Geller… fantastic. fabulous ortho. surgeon! He only does knees and hips.. and does do reconstructive surgery on both also. He did my full hip replacement 4 months ago and I have had nothing but wonderful days with no more pain and quality of life back! He is by far the best of the best. You could look up his background online. I wish you the best of luck. Definitely take some time to look up his credentials from Columbia Pres.!
