Dr. Cohen-Levy allayed my most immediate concern about the arthritis in my knee. He explained in detail the x-rays (which were part of my appointment). Showing specific differences between my knees was helpful to understand the specific pain in my left knee. He assured me that it was too early to consider surgery since my condition did not hinder my life and activity levels. He made suggestions to ease some of the discomfort. The visit was very reassuring.
