Now both knees have been replaced by Dr. Molloy. From 1st consult to this follow up it has been a 2-year process. Plus 1 year of planning for bariatric (also done at CCF) prior to knee replacements. This 3-year process was well worth the investment. My quality of life is improved 100%. I am enjoying time with grandkids so much more as well as doing things for myself. I am so glad I found everything I needed at 1 place - Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Molloy is personal as well as professional. I highly recommend him and his team.

The doctor was very clear about the possible surgery outcome; however, he was not responsive to making my current condition better or more tolerable. Physical Therapy or exercises designed for current condition.
