“My son was injured playing basketball. Did my research and made an appointment with Dr. Bennett…. Explained his technique for repairing [torn ACL], and how he considers the age and sport when deciding the best type of surgery. He doesn’t look at each patient or injury as the same as someone else. I liked that approach. Had no trouble scheduling surgery. His staff were very communicative as was Dr. Bennett. Surgery and rehab went great. I think my son’s knee is better than before. Also, Dr. Bennett gave me his cell and actually called me back on a Sunday evening when I had a question.”

Testimonial from Kristye, a Patient’s Mother

I just wanted to share with you both [this] photo of Cooper from a previous game. He has been in full beast mode this season, and it's due to your amazing work. Thank you for taking such great care of him during both of his ACL injuries. We are truly blessed to have you in his life.
