Patient Reviews
Jun 20, 2024
I was finally referred to Dr Carey after two years of persistent knee pain that flared badly if I walked more than a few blocks (I was only 27). I had been to multiple doctors, did PT 3 times, tried injections and medications, orthotics, anti inflammatory diets, and anything I could with no relief. I was feeling hopeless about a future of pain and inactivity. At the consultation, Dr Carey listened to me, suggested a few likely causes of my pain, and even went through a PowerPoint he’d given about one condition. I got in for arthroscopy within a few weeks, where he finally diagnosed and fixed the problem (plica.) The relief at finally having an answer and a cure after two years of pain was incredible. I’m posting this a year later because I met my final post-surgery goal of biking 100 miles in a day, and my one is great! I’m so grateful to Dr Carey (and his team, and my PT). They genuinely gave me my life back.
