Patient Reviews
Sep 02, 2023
Dr Hightower was very thorough in communicating his assessment of my arthritic knee, showing me the deterioration of cartilage and bone on my x-rays. He explained my options clearly and once I decided total knee replacement surgery was my best option, he was very thorough in explaining what to expect every step of the way through the surgery, physical therapy, and recovery. My surgery was very successful, and the recovery process as he'd described. I am able to do all the things I used to do, but without the weight-bearing pain. My other knee is also grinding and becoming painful, and when I'm ready, I know who I'll choose to replace it!
