Dr. Francisco Rodriguez Argaiz performed my knee replacement surgery, and I couldn't be happier with the results. His skill and experience in orthopedics are evident, and he guided me through the entire process. I'm grateful for his expertise and the care provided by his team.
I once fell and got my hip fractured suffered a lot because of it and was unable to walk and function properly. Thanks to Dr. Francisco Rodriguez Argaiz I am now able to move properly as he did an incredible job with my treatment.
