“Living with knee pain was very difficult. Advil and Tylenol were my best friends at times. It hurt to walk, let alone to surf. Traditional methods were unappealing since they involved long recovery periods.” With Nano® Knee, Stan says “Going home just a few hours after surgery, I was already on my cell phone bragging to people, to my friends, how well I felt and how different this was from any other surgery I had in the past. Three days after surgery, I mowed my front yard….. I felt that good. Under a week after that, I went back to my office… I walked during my lunches and was already up to a mile a day a week after, with no pain. I actually felt really, really good. The results speak for themselves.”

“I explained to [Dr. Ferro] that I was planning a very extensive two-week European vacation. My concern was, if I had the surgery in June, would I be able to go on my vacation three months later. And as it turned out, we walked about an average of five miles a day and had a great time and my knee was never an issue.… I’m out here on the golf course today and looking forward to getting some more holes in. I recently played in a tournament and won first place. So if that’s not a testimonial, I don’t know what is.”

“I was completely bone-on-bone, I had osteoarthritis in my left knee. I wasn’t able to do hiking, I wasn’t able to walk my dogs. Other surgeons told me I could not have a knee replacement because of my age—I was too young. After meeting with Dr. Ferro and the Nano® Knee staff… my quality as far as my knee replacement after the knee replacement Nano® surgery is 100% better. I’m completely happy with it. I have no pain. No pain whatsoever. I’m able to wear heels, which I wasn’t able to do for years. I’m able to walk my dog. I’m able to work all day long at work and come home and still be active and not be off my feet because of the pain. I’m completely 100% happy with this procedure.”

“Slowly but surely the pain in your knees robs you of your quality of life. The doctor tells you, "your knees are bone on bone." He answers your questions, then says "take your time and let me know when you are ready for surgery." After surgery your response is, "oh, why didn’t I have both knees replaced years ago!" Pain free to do anything and everything I want to do without limitations! Thank you Dr. Ferro for your exceptional medical skills and abilities in addition to the wonderful rapport you have with your patients. God bless you!”
