Patient Reviews
Dec 15, 2024
I tore my hamstring off the bone. At first, I thought it was just a bad strain, but after several days, the entire area was covered in dark purple bruising. During my initial appointment, Dr. Choate assessed my leg and immediately scheduled me for an MRI. A few days later, I had my surgery. Not only did the surgery go well, but I was also able to stop using crutches several weeks earlier than expected. The scar healed very well and is discreetly hidden. I highly recommend Dr. Choate as both a surgeon and a doctor.
