I have spent weeks... maybe months... researching doctors to evaluate my knees. Since I had such a bad experience with my previous surgeon, I am OVERLY worried and weary choosing my next one... I want the NEXT doctor to be the LAST doctor haha.
I know that Dr. James Andrews is the top in the field. With me being a wrestler, it is known that he treats almost every WWE wrestler. However, he is in Alabama and I am in NY. I wrote to him and was told he comes to NY for meetings, but has no plans to visit here any time soon. I was referred to some of his "fellows" who not practice here. On the fellows bios they state they treated WWE wrestlers and were consultants for the Washington Redskins. I know for a fact that is ACTUALLY Dr. Andrews who does that; I assume the fellows work side by side with him... soo...
Question 1: Someone in a fellowship program; how closely do they interact with doctors high profile clients such as NFL teams and WWE. Is this legit that they claim they have treated them? Or is that like someone taking an intro to spanish class and claiming on their resume they are fluent?
Next question is... has anyone heard about the following doctors:
Dr. Laith Jazrawi
Dr. George H. McGinnis
Dr. Stephen Hunt
Dr. Craig Levitz
Right now, these remain as my top choices. I would LOVE to be treated by Dr. Andrews, but I just do not have the money or time to fly to Alabama. I am young (25) and just want to be active again; I need to wrestle again, if not for my own mental health.
Any input is GREAT!
