    I was very pleased with my doctor. I got the x-ray done immediately. I didn't have to wait in x-ray. They were very nice there and kind. And the nurses and receptionists at the doctor's office were very, very good. And I just think Dr. Freiberg is a lovely man. And I'm sure he's a good surgeon because he did my right knee and I had no pain. And the rehab worked out fine. And I was on my feet and out the door in two weeks with no problems. That's why I want him to do my hip. I'm glad. I'm glad I have him. Thank you.
