Alternatives to TOC?

[seminole97]

My wife likes to destroy her knee. She tore her ACL and meniscus in 2016 at the Clemson game, then she tore ACL, MCL and meniscus this April.
Since that wasn't enough she tore her meniscus some more a few weeks ago.
TOC handled the surgeries previously, but the surgeon has since left for Colorado. After reviewing her MRI this time they said she'll need another meniscus repair. They said the wait for the surgery will be about two months.
Any recs for an alternative within a few hours of Tallahassee?

I can’t think of any, but I’m sure there has to be something. That said, with a practice that big, two and half months seems like a long time.

She doesn't have any eligibility left, so we may have to pull some other strings to get seen quicker...

Don’t know anything about them, but I did find this.

Who was the surgeon who left? See Dr. Wong there. It take a while to get into see him but he is one of the best.

I've seen Dr Loeb there for follow up after I ruptured my patellar tendon in Miami and had surgery there when out of town. He's supposedly a very good surgeon but his personality can be a little off-putting.

Dr. Wong replaced both my knees - he is excellent - 3 or 4 month waiting list well worth it.

Is your wife a street fighter?

Go to Shands if your wife's knee needs that many revisions you need an expert. That's not happening is Tallahassee.

Alcohol is a helluva drug.
Tore the first ACL climbing a railing at Doak in the 3rd quarter. We got home from the ER about 5 that morning.
The April damage was attempting to show my daughter how to do a cartwheel while on a hill - wine was a factor.
The latest meniscus tear is because she’s stubborn and wanted to plant flowers at the mailbox. Jumping on an shovel less than four months after replacing ACL, MCL and grafting an ALL is not recommended. Alcohol was not a factor this time, she just wanted to prove me wrong when I suggested timing on this project wasn’t ideal for recovery.
Sometimes I hate being right.

Wow, that's a long time. It's bad they can't clone your doctor. Two Wongs would make it right.

Wong did my dad's knees. He assisted Bellamy on my arm.

I see Fox too (Destin office), I've had several PTs recommend him to me. If nothing else you get a second opinion and you've got an excuse to go to the beach

Niceville is my old stomping grounds. My brother’s family is still there.
Now to see how fast she can be seen...

Good question. My wife had a hip replacement on Monday. I told some people at church that it was an MMA injury. I then had to explain to her what that was. lol

If I have something of concern I go to Mayo in Jacksonville

My mom had both her knees done by Andrews. She said she was rehabbing with all these NFL dudes, of course no clue who they were.
