“Because it's about more than just the knee”

To go from being active and running a minimum of three miles a day plus strength training three times a week, to hardly being able to walk up a flight of stairs…It is so excruciatingly painful. 

I was not the same person. I couldn't even tell you what happened. It was so sudden and so fast and so sharp. The pain was excruciating. I did anything I knew to do like using Tiger Balm and trying to work through [the pain]. I tried everything I knew to do from previous injuries. To say it was excruciating is an understatement.

I was referred to Dr. Broome by my physical therapist. Dr. Broome is very confident, but he's also very knowing and very calming.

Two reasons I stuck with him: He asked me questions and he asked me all the right questions. 

• He asked me what my lifestyle was.

• He asked me what was important to me. He asked me about my nutrition.

• He asked me about my goals. 

Because of the way he was with me before my surgery, I wasn't feeling nervous [for the operation]. 

There's a continuity that carries through with the staff at San Antonio Orthopædic Specialists—everybody from the front desk to billing to the staff at the hospital.  

To be honest with you, I truly believe I'm better now than I was before the surgery. I truly do.

I have friends that say they look at me and they say, “Oh, that must be a bionic knee he put in you.” Just because it's made such a difference overall.

I'm grateful that I have an orthopedic surgeon like Dr. Broome.

He's not just my orthopedic surgeon, he's part of my life forever. I have a place to go where I know somebody is going to invest in my overall health. Because it's about more than just the knee.
