I saw the nurse practitioner today and not Dr. Gasser, which was disappointing. He had not previously reviewed my MRI and was looking at it for the first time in the exam room. He pressed on the middle of my kneecap and asked if that’s where it hurts. I told him no I have no pain there, the pain is on the inside/right side of my left knee. He said oh. I told him I have pain with twisting, extending my leg out flat when in bed, running, and upon standing from sitting. He said my MRI showed swelling in the front of my knee, which is likely due to excessive kneeling. I told him I don’t kneel because that hurts so how can that be? No answer. I felt like because I’m not a surgical candidate, I did not warrant being seen by Dr. Gasser today. I was told to come back as needed.

This is my first time visiting an orthopedic doctor and Dr Gasser was amazing. He explained everything in terms I could understand and came up with a great plan forward. The team there was also amazing. Highly recommend them if you find yourself in need of a good orthopedist.
