Dr. McClellan was exceptional in explaining the procedure and rehab, during pre-op and post-op visits.His knowledge of the procedure and his 'bedside manner' are only surpassed by his skill as a surgeon. The entire procedure went smoothly and without mishap.I am now six weeks out and walking without...
