I made an appointment with Dr. Strickland after dislocating my left kneecap. I had seen doctors in New Jersey who told me I needed a full knee replacement. This shocked me since I never hurt my left knee before. I was discouraged until I saw Dr. Strickland who told me there was hope and that I did not need a knee replacement. I had back to back tibial osteotomy surgeries on my left knee and then my right knee. Every time I have an appointment with Dr. Strickland she is always so positive in my recovery. Because of her and her team, I am back to my normal activities of being a CrossFit athlete, an ocean lifeguard, and a member of the Monmouth County and USA National Lifeguard teams. I could not be thankful enough for all Dr. Strickland has done for me!

Since undergoing surgery, I became the USLA Beach Flags National Champion the last 4 out of 5 years. I have also become one of the top 100 yard sand sprinters in Monmouth County and the nation, while beating lifeguards that are half my age.
