5/5

I had a knee replacement surgery yesterday and I cannot say enough about the team that took care of me. Dr. Okafor-so thorough with explaining everything and I really felt comfortable with him. Dr. Terrasso-the anesthesiologist, wow he just really spent a lot of time with me and I felt seen and heard. Fantastic Nurse Green Nurse Torres Nurse Sanchez running out of words. They were awesome!!!
