Meniscus Tear (Torn Meniscus)

Alex Yampolskiy

I live a pretty active/extreme lifestyle (heli skiing, skydiving, motorcycle racing, etc.) and unfortunately over the years it resulted in some serious injuries. Two torn meniscus on my left knee (lateral & medial), torn labrum & torn meniscus (right knee) this year, which led to four total surgeries with Dr. DiFelice.

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. D, his staff and HSS as a whole. These guys are world class! They were able to get me back in the game after every surgery time after time. Although Dr. D would like me to slow down and "take it easy" ... I just don't see it happening anytime soon. However, I know that no matter what happens, I'll have a great team to turn to if needed.
