I just wanted to say thanks to Dr. J for the outcome of my surgery. When I first was diagnosed with a torn meniscus, my primary care physician explained to me that after the surgery I may not be able to play contact sports (or if so, that I wouldn’t be able to play for at least 4-8 weeks). I play many sports but primarily soccer.

When he told me this I was extremely depressed at the thought of not being able to play soccer again. I had my surgery on August 15 and my follow-up appointment with Dr. J one week later on August 22. When Dr. J examined my knee and my progress and explained to me that I could resume playing sports again when I felt up to it.

Well the following Monday, I played soccer (10 days after the surgery) and played at about 80% of how I had been playing prior to my injury. By that Thursday (13 days after the surgery) I removed the brace that I had been using and felt like I was at 100% of where I was before the injury.

It has now been 6 weeks since the surgery and my knee is and has been completely healed for a few weeks now. All my teammates could not believe that I was able to start playing 10 days after the surgery. I just wanted to thank Dr. J for the great work that he did on my knee, and let him know that if anyone that I know ever needs a sports surgeon, I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. J.
