Patient Reviews
Jun 26, 2025
Dr. Woodson listened carefully about my history and dissatisfaction with knee replacement 10 months earlier. Dr. Woodson on the first visit wanted to tap the fluid from my knee with portable ultrasound guided placements of needle. To my surprise he got 42 cc of fresh blood,no clots which made me acknowledge that I was correct in my steadfast assumption that something was terribly wrong. Dr. Woodson came to the same conclusion however the cause was elusive. Dr. Woodson continued to order tests and modalities and professional advice to me. After 6 months of many appointments it was decided that a nuclear bone scan would show Dr. Woodson the diagnosis and treatment plan. He explained there was only one solution as the nuclear bone scan showed cementing problems that led to “loose parts”. . I believe this happened early on with the first orthopedic surgeon. Only one solution. Dr. Woodson would have to perform a total revision of the first surgery. Blessed and ecstatic Dr.’s CARE! Dr. W
