I’ve had knee problems for over three years. I finally setup an appointment with Dr Irfan Ansari. He was helpful, didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear but he was honest, upfront and advised I need knee replacement. I asked about other options and his answer was “I will give you a shot and take your money if you want but that is not what you need, it will not help”. I kinda thought that but not what I wanted to hear; Bone on bone with arthritis. He has a great bedside manner and very knowledgeable with knees and shoulders (he did surgery on my husband, both shoulders and he did an awesome job. No problems and it been a few years). Trust goes a long way and we do trust him. In our opinion he’s the best in the this field. He does not do the knee replacement, referred us to Dr Yarbrough.

Finally! After dealing with another Orthopedic Group for 2 months and being in pain for months, Dr. Ansari had x-rays done and diagnosed what the problem was within minutes!! I have always had successful diagnosis’ and surgeries at Resurgens and will never go elsewhere again! FIVE STARS!
