I was hesitant to consult a knee surgeon about my arthritic knee because I had heard that knee surgeons only want to do surgery. For this reason, I was pleasantly surprised to find that after carefully going through all the options, Mr McDermott suggested that in my case surgery was not advisable. I very much appreciated that Mr McDermott spent so much time with me, giving me a full, frank and honest opinion about what the best options are for me.
