Knee Replacement

Douglas Sullivan

A little background on myself, I was a professional skier for many years. I raced, taught and was sponsored by major ski manufacturers. I have remained very active and trained my whole life.

With all the time on the snow and playing sports, I've had my share of injuries. I've had 2 surgeries on my knee, starting with a meniscectomy in 1978. My knee has always bothered me, but it's within the last 3 years that it has progressed to where all traditional treatments are not helping. That's when I started to do my research into TKR. After seeing several doctors out here in the Twin Forks of Long Island that I came across Dr Boettner, and HSS. I'm now ready to turn the page in my life and get back to the skiing that I've been unable to do for the past 3 years.
