After a catastrophic injury, I spent months in hospital in Montana. Once I was rehabilitated enough to be a candidate for full knee replacement, the University of Utah spent a tremendous amount of care and attention to me and my case. I was a high-risk candidate for this procedure after having my knee joint and the soft tissues in my leg infected with Streptococcus because of my injury. Due to the severity of my injury and subsequent infection, I was denied knee replacement in Montana. The University of Utah took on my case and carefully planned my procedure and after-care treatment. I was closely monitored every step of the way. The doctors on my medical team at the University of Utah restored my mobility, my career, and my quality of life.
Great experience
Answered all of my questions that were asked and made me feel at ease about my treatment plan.
