Michelle, Lots of suggestions here and lots of people talking about pro atheletes. Dr Kliman is top notch. I would hate to hear you you cancel with him just because I didn't say he sees pro atheletes. In fact his "older" partner who did my first surgery was the doc for the SJ pro soccer team years ago and he assisted on many of the surgeries back then. These docs are all probably good, but I can say from over 50 office visits over two surgeries, broken fingers, etc over 15 years, Dr. Kliman is great. I went for second opinion once because my options for solutions are slim to none. I went to guy here in Sac town, "well reccomended" and former doc of the River Cats and he said the same things Dr. K was saying I needed, but did it it a way that would never go back to him. What I am saying is that bedside manner goes a long way. When going through post-surgery recovery, you will have a zillion questions and probably some complications... they rarely go perfectly. having a doc you cabn actually talk to w/o him blowing you off is key. See a few of these guys and decide for yourself. -Uj
