A Knee replacement Patient Testimonial for Dr. Harris

A patient’s journey through Total Knee Arthroplasty with Dr. Harris. One thing I noticed right away after both procedures, especially the first, was the change it made in me mentally and emotionally as well as physically. What I discovered as I recovered was that my mind felt sharper and I had fewer moody periods. I think I had been using more brain power than I realized just trying to mentally block out the pain.
