Dr. Surace is very knowledgeable and well- experienced and an expert in his field. I trust him with my upcoming surgery (which is not scheduled yet for financial reasons). He went so far as to draw my knee with the tibial plate and screws to show me how much of the plate had to come out prior to knee replacement. He answered every question that I asked him and in a professional manner.
