“I went through surgery and started physical therapy 5 days later. I came out of surgery with zero pain.”

Dr. Gazzaniga helped me with a hip injury 5 years ago and recently I started having significant knee pain for the first time, so I went to him again. After trying several procedures before surgery that didn't seem to relieve the pain, Dr. Gazzaniga recommended an MRI which showed that I had a medial meniscus root tear. I went through surgery and started physical therapy 5 days later. I came out of surgery with zero pain. There was no weight bearing for 4 weeks (initially 6 but I was making good progress) and today I am walking, still healing, but doing so much better. I like Dr. Gazzaniga's communication and style--through each step he was progressive and very specific about my rehab with weekly lists to my therapist of what was needed for progress. He's a great orthopedic physician who really knows his specialty. I will continue to go to him and pass along recommendations.
