Patient Reviews
Oct 23, 2024
Dr. Alberton patiently explained me the situation I was in post my injury while playing soccer. My meniscal repair was immediately needed as it had folded into my joint which was limiting my extension. Post my 1st surgery, I had trouble achieving my flexion. She made sure to evaluate me periodically and finally suggested manipulation to help achieve flexion of my left knee. Post 2nd surgery, she recommended that I push harder than before as slacking could lead to slower recovery. She was happy with my progress and had conversations with my physical therapist to see how I was doing. It was a pleasure to have known Dr. Alberton and in retrospect have her as my surgeon. I would highly recommend her in case any of my acquaintance or close one has an injury or needs consultation.
