I like sports, he likes sports. I like to be active, he likes to be active. I tore ACL/MCL playing sports and being active, he rebuilt my ACL so I could get back to being active and playing sports. I literally took a shot in the dark when I made my appointment with«Shoe.» Man, did I ever luck out. I have been blessed with only having one major injury in my life. :knocks on wood: When I tore my ACL playing hockey and soccer, Dr. Shoemaker was the perfect fit for me to do the orthopedic surgery on my knee. He has worked with a number of sports stars as well as working on people who are highly active, like me. He understood how important it is for me to be able to get back to normal and get back on the pitch and ice. The surgery was great, his bedside manner is awesome, and at the follow ups he was very personal, very professional and made you feel like your recovery was the most important. It’s been about a year and a half now, and was back to playing hockey and soccer in about 9 months. My knee hardly hurts, it feels strong and I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Shoe and his staff! Thanks for fixing me up Doc!
