My total knee replacement was exceptional- minimal pain and I was able to walk without a walker or cane within 14 days. Dr. Darr provided very good quality of care; he gave an excellent explanation of my upcoming procedure. I would recommend Dr. Darr and his office.
I went from not being able to get around to riding bikes and going to the gym. l am happy with the friendly atmosphere- to great nurses and the care they provided for me. I would recommend Dr. Darr highly.
I am a 60-year-old marathoner and tri-athlete. A volleyball game jump set off my knee in the middle of training for the Big Sur race. Dr. Darr fit me into his schedule, diagnosed the exact problem, and did the surgery. I have recovered faster, with less pain and no setbacks than I have experienced from similar surgeries in the past. I was back running and training in time to do the race, which was only 4 months after the surgery. Dr. Darr's handling of all aspects of treatment was the best, most proactive care I have ever received.
Being an avid equestrian, I was devastated to learn that I had a torn ACL and torn meniscus. All I could think of was that I was not going to get back on my horses and I would be forced to change my lifestyle drastically. I began an earnest search for the best orthopedic surgeon in the area. Dr. Darr was recommended to me by a nurse friend who works in the operating room and whose opinion I value since she sees the doctors in action. I chose to have my surgery with him and followed Dr. Darr's advice to undergo physical therapy as part of my rehab. I found Dr. Darr's surgical ability second to none and his personal convictions are superior to any other doctor that I have experienced. He prayed with my family before surgery, giving us comfort and reassurance that I was in the right hands. Yet, Dr. Darr's true level of compassion came about 6 months later, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. He learned on my condition and called to check that I was doing well and again offer his support. I will not forget his kindness or the fact that I can ride again without pain!
After a knee scope, walking, running, and miscellaneous sports activities are pain free! I have full use of my right knee. Therapy was very helpful in recovery to regain full use of the knee. Dr. Darr and his staff (Gretchen, NP also) were very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable in my diagnosis, operation, and recovery. They were very friendly, accommodating, and instructive during my time under their care. I would highly recommend Dr. Darr and his staff for any orthopedic consultation and surgery.
I have a new life ahead of me. I had a total knee replacement 3 weeks ago and I have experienced no pain and have so many ways my quality of life has changed already. I have full range of motion in my knee, unbelievable stability, and strength. I can now sleep with my leg flat on the bed instead of locked at an angle. Dr. Darr and his whole staff were very thorough in the procedures to be performed, were very accommodating in every way, very polite and courteous. Dr. Darr took an incredible amount of time answering my questions and addressing my concern. He visited me at 6:30am, again at 10:45pm, and again at 5:45am the next morning. Unconditional commitment to his patients! You must go to Dr. Darr, there are none any better!
