    Dr. Duncan Jacks is my hero! I went through a long period of chronic pain until finally being referred to him. My appoint with Dr. Jacks proved I needed knee replacement. In August I had my surgery which was very successful. I experienced zero pain after the Surgery Physio was a breeze. It is the beginning of my fourth month and my range of motion is 140. Thank you Dr. Jacks you are my HERO.
