Bruce Dixon, Greenwich, CT — knee replacement and Achilles tendon repair
My story is very simple. Dr. Russell Warren replaced my left knee in January of 2005 with excellent results. In November of 2006, I tore my Achilles tendon on the same leg and Dr. Warren repaired that as well. I have had an excellent recovery from both. I play tennis 3-5 times a week, go on bike tours, and lead a very active physical life. NYC is only 35 miles from our home. My theory - why not go to the best when it's 35 miles away when others travel much greater distances to get there.
