Agree totally. I also learned the hard way. The first surgeon kept trying to push me into dong the second knee eventhough he screwed up the partial knee operation. When he told me I needed to have that fixed with another surgery, I balked and his response was: what's the problem, it would only be soft tissue surgery!!! Like it was a walk in the part. Even after TKR he would haveme walk in the hall and tell me I would get everything back, BUT in the office, when I said what he said to my Hubby, he didn't say a word.

When I can cancelled my remaining follow up apts with him, (saw a different surgeon who helped me) it was strange that that same afternoon I got a call from the Office Manager, not the girls that do the apts. "to remind me of my upcoming apt." Seeing that my next apt. with him was scheduled 3 weeks out, that was very strange.
