Comments: I have accomplished so much in one year! I celebrated my one year anniversary by making a list of all the things I would not have been able to do without the new knee. From start to finish the process was the right one for me. The pre-op training/exercise and healthy eating habits from the manual provided, made me feel like I had skin in the game and was more than a patient, I was a partner in the whole process. I left the office grateful I had been Dr. Perricelli's patient. I can say that others in my age range who have had knee replacement have not been as happy or as active after surgery from other doctors. I often explain it this way; if you want to just 'bounce back' after knee surgery go to any qualified orthopedic surgeon, if you want to exceed your pre-op activity levels long-term, see Dr. Perricelli.
