Testimonials

I had both knees replaced by Dr Delos in June and was back to work full time in 3 weeks. By 6 weeks i was walking like a track star and nobody could tell that i ever had surgery. If you are considering a knee replacement run, don’t walk, and go see Dr Delos!  (5 Star Review on Healthgrades from B.H.)
