ACL Tear (Torn ACL)

Rachel Shechter

I came to Dr. Strickland for help after tearing my ACL while skiing. She was so knowledgeable and professional, and I immediately trusted her. I had ACL reconstruction surgery on March 15th, 2021 and it went seamlessly. Dr. Strickland and Meghan Reed then guided me through recovery, always answered my questions promptly and were happy to support me. I always felt I was in good, capable hands. A year after surgery I was even able to hike the Inca Trail, a 26 mile 4 day hike with a lot of elevation gain and decline. My knee had no issues throughout the hike. I'm so grateful to be back outdoors and doing things I love, like traveling and hiking!
