If knee pain is affecting your daily life, the cost of surgery shouldn’t stand in your way. Dr. Likover is currently enrolling patients in FDA-sanctioned clinical trials that provide a total knee replacement at no cost to you or your insurance provider.
You May Qualify for a No-Cost Total Knee Replacement
Our practice is participating in a research study evaluating pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. If you qualify and are selected, you will receive a complete knee replacement procedure without paying for the surgery itself.
