    It looks like my knee guy has retired. He deserved it!

    I was hoping to refer my wife to him, alas. You guys and gals in love with your knee-only doctor, can you recommend? An OC location would be stellar but we are open to elsewhere in the southland.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry, my knee guy retired and the whole practice folded so all Dr's could go there ways.
    He did 5 knee surgeries on me over 20 years. (He's got to pay for his kid's college somehow)

    What area of OC are you looking for?

    If you don't find someone you're thrilled with in OC, Mark Getelman at Southern California Orthopedic Institute did my knee. I guess he's one of "the" knee guys, and was specifically recommended by my shoulder guy (who is one of, if not the top shoulder guy in the country) as well as by my physical therapist who works with a lot of pro athletes. His bedside manner is kind of whatever, and having just been purchased by UCLA Health, SCOI itself is kind of a PITA. But the surgery, recovery, and results have been as good as I could have possibly hoped for, and my PT says that the patients that he works with from Getelman tend to have very good results.

    Awesome, guys. Thanks for your recommendations.

    Jim, anywhere in the county would be worth good knee surgeon, but Irvine area is most handy.

I think the meniscus Dr. Baumgarten knew had a little tear but left alone in 2014 is flaring up every 5-6 months for 2-3 weeks. I rode here to give hope to the other customers, not to rub it in. Well, I meant to rub it in to you guys...you and your weekly rides and 40 milers and weekdays and weekends...

    Try Kerlan Jobe in Anaheim and research their doctors. They work on the Angels and used to take care of the Rams. I used Dr. Tal David and Dr. Chris Sherman at Synergy Specialists in La Jolla
