Three years ago, I had a total replacement of my left knee. Although my surgery went well, my pre-op and post-op care were terrible, and I almost needed a second surgery to remove inhibiting scar tissue.
However, this was NOT the case with the excellent care I received recently from Dr. Elizabeth Gausden and her amazing professional team for a total replacement of my right knee.
From my first visit, Dr. Gausden and her physician assistants helped me understand the goals I needed to reach after surgery to heal faster and achieve greater mobility. For instance, achieve a 90 percent bend of my knee and straighten my right leg to zero degrees by the second month post-surgery. These goals helped me gain mobility significantly faster.
Additionally, the Gausden team was always responsive, both pre- and post-surgery, when I had questions or needed assistance managing pain and discomfort. One PA in particular, Hayden, exceeded expectations in helping me manage my medications, allowing me to sleep comfortably and carry out my daily routines, as well as complete my physical therapy exercises. Hayden was also dedicated to following up with me to make sure I was doing well.
I highly recommend Dr. Gausden for knee surgery.
