Call and ask...: Regardless where ever you go, you can expect generally similar requirements and procedures. Bring all your paper work along with insurance, prescription and co- payment. Dress casually, usually shorts will do. You will be asked about your general health and knee specifics. Strength, motion, swelling, gait and pain will be assessed along with the the starting of closely monitored knee exercises.
