She couldnt be there for every appointment, so at the end of the day, we discussed the 3 guys who made the final cut and i told her i wanted the younger guy (still comfortably in his forties) who did not try to dress his office up like a sports bar with all the player jerseys and what not, but who had a track record of doing approximately 100-125 knees a year for the last decade. Also, some of these guys were trying to hawk CBD products too and that was a turn off for me

At the end of the day, it was ultimately my decision who to use, but im glad i had her by my sidebthrough some of it —. And , your mileage may vary on this one, but i prayed a lot over my decision too
Oh, I’d appreciate that!

I totally get that choosing is not a science, and that a good part of it is getting a feeling for where the doc’s priorities are, and what kind of person they are.

Thanks again.
