Dr. Caufield is the only Doctor I would consider performing knee replacement surgery. Eight years ago Dr. Caufield performed surgery on my right knee that was very successful, so at my age (85) after Dr. Caufiied just operated on my left knee, I feel I have a new lease on life. Many thanks Doc., your the best.
