Patient Reviews
Aug 08, 2019
Dr. Garten saw my 11-year-old as a 2nd opinion on her patellar tendonitis. It was taking a long time to heal, and my daughter was afraid to straighten her knee bc she thought she would damage it further. We were brought right into the exam room and had her x-rays completed even before her scheduled appt time. Dr. Garten extensively examined both knees/hips and did an ultrasound to assess the injury in her tendon. We now feel good about her PT because we saw for ourselves that there was no lasting damage to the tendon. Dr. Garten prescribed a compounded pain cream and wrote a new PT order for her therapist. He saw no need to recommend any other treatments for her. Dr. Garten has a great way with kids, and he convinced my daughter that she would be okay pushing her knee a little in PT in order to improve its healing progress. She is already trying harder to straighten it. With a little luck, she will be back to playing with her National Premier League soccer team in a few weeks.
