Dr Caufield is an exceptional orthopedic physician! I have seen him a number of times over the years. He answers my questions clearly. And he gives me several options about “what to do!” B He just performed a cortisone shot on my right knee 2 days ago. I hardly felt the shot, and it’s already helping my knee pain! I’m sticking with the effective doctor!!
