Carol M.

May 7, 2019 By NFI Support Team

Dr. Zwahlen has replaced both of my knees and one hip. There were also some revisions to a badly injured knee. I recently had an opportunity to visit Machu Picchu in Peru. I’ve never been much of a hiker, but the doctor convinced me that I could do it. So I did! There were 8,000 feet of elevation, uneven stone steps with no railings and absolutely stunning views. High adventure for a 70-year-old patient. Dr. Zwahlen’s optimism is contagious.
