I told him in Oct that if he didn’t do my knee replacement, I would go out of town. I worked at RMC for 26 years until 2021- I knew his work and he did great!!!! I have a lot of friends that may be seeing him soon as well!

Dr Blavatsky helped me understand the problem with my knee and provided me relief for my knee as well with my knee and my back which led to much better sleep.
