Comment - “ Dr/ Taarea removed fluid from kn... ”

Dr/ Taarea removed fluid from knee - was first doctor to be willing to do it. I am very grateful to him for that procedure in addition to the steroid shot in hip for which I saw him. I hope it will give some relief. He explained it all thoroughly and even showed me the fluid drained. A very caring doctor!
