On 2/13/15 I came to you facility with extreme knee pain and started with an initial consultation with Dr. Bechler. Within hours, the diagnosis of a torn meniscus was confirmed by an MRI; the procedure to repair the tear was explained, and surgery scheduled for 6 days later. I was pain free 2 days after surgery and now, 6 days after, started PT to straighten the knee joint so I can get back to work climbing ladders and other carpentry functions.
