Dr. Knapp is the best of the best! I am so grateful for his professionalism, guidance and impeccable knowledge of orthopedic medicine through my first surgical experience. I was so scared and he made the transition feel so easy. I could not have chosen a better team to work with than MCO. I won't hesitate to continuing sending my family and friends to this medical group. Thank you, MCO, but most importantly, thank you, Dr. Knapp for giving me a new lease on life!
