Apr 05, 2022
Back in 2005 in California. Dr. Sechriest did an injection in my right knee. Found out he worked with my doctor (dr.Dahl) from Shriners who did my leg lengthenings. I have been searching for Dr. Sechriest to do my knee replacement...8 knee doctors I've seen do not understand or know how with my condition and say it's impossible. Thank you,
