I would (and have) recommend Dr. Kissel to anyone. He has done total knee replacement on both of my knees. He and his staff are great. Wait time is minimal. Dr. Kissel is great with your family members, too. Explaining what they can do to help with recovery.

I visited Dr. Kissel for a second opinion for my shoulder. He and the staff were very kind. I was able to get my surgery scheduled and recovering well.
