Limb Lengthening Surgery

Charline Donfack

I can say I have been suffered from knock knees since I was a kid because I remembered my parents used to looked for some doctors to treat my knees. I never got comfortable wearing a short skirt or a slim pants because of my physical condition. When I was still in my country (Cameroon), I had to look for a surgeon to see if they could help me out, but I never got a chance because they couldn't. So, since I came to the United States, I started doing some research to see if I could find a doctor to help me fix my knees. I was tired of wearing long dresses all the time. Through Google, I found HSS in New York that treats people with my condition. I started looking for some reviews and pictures before and after surgery and I came across Dr. Rozbruch. It made me feel confident that he can be the one to help me with my knock knees. I immediately sent them an email explaining my situation and they contacted me back, asked questions, and made an appointment with me. At that time, I had hope that Dr. Rozbruch could save me from worrying and stress because I was confident due to his work and reviews online.

After all the consultation and x-rays, he decided that he will help me by getting my knees straight and nice. I was not too much scared about the surgery because I trusted him a lot. When he said he was going to fix my knees, I started smiling and said, "Thank you lord. You heard my prayers and put someone who can help me on my way and I was so excited about it. He did the first surgery on my left knee in March and put me on physical therapy and the second one in June, where I continued with my therapist. Now I can say my physical condition has changed a lot and I can wear anything I want. Dr. Rozbruch is a life saver and the most understanding person I know because he has helped me a lot. He must live longer to save people like me to get their confidence back, so, they can enjoy their lives with no doubt and worry about people's mockery. I will thank him all my life because I no longer ashamed of myself with my physical condition and I can dress like I want to for the first time in my life.
