WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST VISIT
Video Transcript
Nervous about seeing a surgeon? Here's exactly what happens at your first hip or knee visit with me.
I'm Doctor Cynthia Kahlenberg, an orthopedic surgeon in Stamford, Connecticut... and I specialize in hip and knee replacement for active adults. At your first visit, I start by listening. I want to understand your story, your job, family responsibilities, and what the pain is stopping you from doing.
Then we examine how your hip or knee moves and review any X‐rays or other imaging together so you can see what I'm seeing.
We then outline all appropriate options. If hip or knee replacement is indicated, we'll give you a clear run down of the surgery, recovery, and what to expect. You'll leave with a clear plan, not pressure.
If you're an active adult and hip or knee pain is quietly reshaping your life, we are here to get you back on track. Contact my office to schedule that first visit. We look forward to meeting you.
