Comments: I work at a large hospital in Dallas and went to see one of the ortho MDs in that department about the excruciating knee pain I had been having for quite some time. I knew that I needed knee replacements and was ready to get my life back, that the arthritis had robbed me of. I saw the outside MD and was in tears when I left her office, she didn't even do an exam just told me that I needed to lose weight before being able to have a knee replacement. I returned to the clinic I worked in and the physician I work for asked how my appointment went, I told him and he advised I go see Dr. Kenneth Estrera. I called and made the appointment, saw him quickly and we had plans to replace the left knee first. I did that last December and had the right one done this December. I am pleased with how my recovery is coming along. I am so excited to have mobility back that will allow me to work on weight loss among other things. I am grateful to Dr. Estrera that he saw a person and not just "another patient" walking through his door. He has given me my life back! Thank you!!
