Knee Replacement

Marianne Carolan

I fell 20 years ago and had to have a meniscectomy on my right knee. Fast forward 20 years and I needed a total knee replacement. Dr. Parks was recommended to me by a coworker whose spouse had been treated by Dr. Parks for the same condition. He was wonderful!! The HSS staff was wonderful!! I am an RN at another facility and I knew right from the start I was in excellent hands. 6 weeks after surgery, I was on a plane to Disney World!! I had a great time with my daughters visiting the parks. 5 months later I spent 10 days walking in Italy - Rome, Venice, Assisi, Pisa, and Verona - with a side trip to Lake Lugano in Switzerland!! I could not have done this without Dr Parks and his skills. Thank you all at HSS.
