Patient Experience & Approach
People needing revision surgery after a failed implant elsewhere appreciate that the bone loss and implant removal challenges were explained up front, so expectations were realistic. Diabetic foot patients say the foot and ankle work prevented amputations that other surgeons had already recommended. Sports injury patients mention that the arthroscopic ACL repair got them back to activity with tiny scars and a clear rehab timeline.
