Dr J. is phenomenal at what she does. She knows and understands the problem and is well practiced in the solution. Her staff is also top quality, friendly, and as uniquely knowledgeable in PE as Dr J. The only reason I don't give 10s across the board is because Dr J. does have her staff do a lot of the patient correspondence, but that is okay because the staff is great.
I was comfortable at all times, hardly ever felt pain beyond a 2. The only reason my max was an 8 is because there was some tough moments when transitioning from IV pain meds to oral. These were short intervals of pain while we figured out the right combination of oral pain meds. Today I am 2 weeks post op with full movement and a normal lifestyle. I'm also already back to the gym doing light cardio. I could not have dreamed for this procedure to go smoother than it has. I was really scared going into it, coming out of it I could not be more pleased.
