Patient Reviews
Dec 07, 2024
Drove 2 hours to have acl repair with him. I was recommended by my local therapist. Read his bio aNd publications. He works with the US soccer and decided he was the right person to do my surgery. He runs a busy clinic. However, had the time to discuss my problem and different treatment options. I am back to sports with no issues. Would recommend him without reservation. Glad we have someone like him in Iowa.
