Dr James is a wonderful Dr. I have had both knees done by Dr James and I highly recommend him. It is so wonderful being able to walk with no pain. A friend and I had our knees done around the same time. Dr. James made sure to coShow morentrol my pain. While my friend went home without anything and was in a lot of pain. I told him he should have used Dr. James.
The whole experience with Dr James and his team has been far beyond expectatiions. I watched videos of knee replacement surgery prior to my surgery so I was prepared plus Dr James explained everything in great detail and I can't tShow morehink of one negative thing to say. I am beyond happy that Dr James performed my surgery and all I can say is, great surgeon.
