My first opinion told me in two seconds I needed a knee replacement surgery. In two seconds, Dr. Cushner told me I did not. He also answered my questions very clearly

My knee is killing me. I can’t wait to see you. You explained the partial knee replacement so good. I’m telling everybody about it. Most people didn’t even know you could do that so I have to reach out to your surgical coordinator soon. Thank you for your care.

I sent messages via My Chart and Kimberly [ ] was prompt and helpful with the responses. She called me yesterday to check on me and discuss in depth the questions I sent. She is a gem.
In 15 minutes, Dr. Cushner helped me more than Columbia doctors did over the course of 1 month and 2 appointments.
