S M's Story

Comments: I recently had total knee replacement on my left knee. I am 66 years old and a former track athlete. I had severe arthritis and was bone on bone. The surgery was performed by Dr. Sean Rajaee and his team at Cedar Sinai. The care that I have received before, during and after this process has been excellent. From the office staff to the nurses and doctors the customer service has been top notch. I realize everyone’s experience will be different when recovering from knee surgery but I am overjoyed at my recovery so far. After 5 weeks I am walking 3-4 miles a day. One of the keys for me has been doing everything that Dr. Rajaee and his staff instructed me to do and also diligently doing all of the physical therapy on daily basis. It hasn’t been an easy process but the hard work is paying off. I was told that a positive attitude throughout the recovery process would go along way. I have done just that. I haven’t looked at it as being off work for 3 months but rather that I have a temporary job called rehabilitation and I treat each day like a work day. I haven’t been able to jog around a track in over 10 years but I will be able to soon. That is one of my goals and to start riding my bike again. The bottom line objective is for a better quality of life. Long review but when someone does a good job you have to let them know about it. Thank you Dr. Rajaee to you and your team for everything.
