After recovering completely from a total right hip replacement in October, 2011, I had a total left knee replacement in May, 2012. Both operations were performed by Dr. Charles Toman, and I am so thankful for his skill and caring attitude. As he indicated it would, the knee was a bit more painful and difficult to rehab than the hip, but now I am six weeks out and walking very well without a walker or cane. Thank you to Dr. Toman and all who helped!
