ACL Tear (Torn ACL)

Wallace Mohlenbrok

My experience at HSS was very smooth. Dr. Gregory DiFelice and all other staff were comforting and had great bedside manners. It is one year since I had my surgery and I am back to lifting weights, doing yoga and running. At age 53 - trying an alternative approach offered by Dr. DiFelice seemed radical. I am so so grateful I chose him. Many of my friends have had ACL ruptures, many younger than me, yet their recovery was much more difficult and longer. I wish his solution of repairing the existing ligament was offered always. Dr. Gregory DiFelice thinks outside of the box - he is a healer and a genius. I hope his method spreads. My friends wish they had had this type of ACL repair offered to them. Two days ago I did 20 box jumps on a two foot tall box, back barbell squats and ran a mile. This year I also got a 200 hour yoga certification. I am so grateful to be able to move this much at my age. Thank you Dr. DiFelice and HSS.
