I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rex. She's always very thorough and describes everything to me. We look at the xrays together and she explains the differences in my knee deterioration. We talked about my weight loss and she gave me the option to have her and the endocrinologist work together to lose the weight so I'd eventually be able to get a total knee replacement. She's just a top notch caring doctor.
