Patient Avoided Knee Surgery with PRP Treatment

Morning. Hey, this is Mike McCormick. I'm a patient with Dr. Truong. I'm 70 years old. A year ago, I started having problems with my knees. I am actually competitive in sprint triathlons. I've been doing those for the last 10 years. Because of Dr. Chuang's health. I reached a point a year ago where I thought my knees were going to have to be surgically replaced. I had scheduled myself for both knees to be replaced at the same time. I actually had the surgery scheduled. I had gone through pre op and I called Dr. Truong because I thought, let me just have her take a last look. She took a look at my knees and she said there's no way that I needed knee surgery at this point. She did PRP treatments on both knees and I was able to, within about six weeks, return to the gym and become very active again. And I'm here a year later. I'm ready to compete again with Get Covid behind us and we'll start the new season of sprint triathlons. And I may never need knee surgery if I continue with the PRP treatments on a periodic basis. Thank you, Dr. Truong.
