This doctor is clueless when it comes to pain management. While his technique might be good, he is SO very conservative in pain management that it is hindering my recovery. I am 5 weeks out and my PT asked me why I didn't take my pain meds before I came. I had to tell him the doctor will NOT renew any pain medicine prescription. I wonder how many knee replacements Dr. Fifer has had? Don't go to him, you will be in pain.
