I sought his opinion after already being seen elsewhere and told that, while elective, knee replacement is the only option to relieve pain and restore function. Dr Hood said the same after his exam and reviewing X-rays. I greatly appreciated his honesty about my condition and thorough explanation of my particular anatomy and the surgical procedure. I also liked that he introduced himself as Mark - not a drop of arrogance in him. (But then I am old enough to be his mother!) I am scheduling surgery with him and will share feedback again post op.
