Who Should Do Knee Cap Replacement?

I AM FINE. JUST WAS LOOKING UP WHAT THE DOCTOR DID THAT MY DOCTOR RECOMMENDED ME TO SEE. THERE IS ONE QUESTION. MY DOCTOR WHO HANDLES MY REPLACED KNEE GOT ALL THE INFORMATION FROM THE ONE WHO DID THE ORIGINAL SURGERY AND THE SMALL KNEE CAP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HE KNEW THIS IN NOVEMBER BUT HAS YET GOTTEN BACK TO LET ME KNOW WHEN HE PLANS TO REPLACE IT. DO YOU THINK HE PLANS TO DO IT OR SHOULD I GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DOCTOR?

You haven't mention why you are rgeplacing your knee cap. If it is hurting you than it should be done by same surgeon who did your first surgery. He has done previous surgery so understand yourcase better.
