I had an ACL injury on my right knee after a ski accident. This was the only and major injury i ever had (i’m 34 years old). I was quite scared at the time, unsure of whether to have surgery or not. After visiting many specialists in the New York area, i met Dr Cleeman. From the get go he was able to calm me down, explaining in detail the results of my MRI and treatment options carefully. He did not push surgery on me like other providers did and clearly explained the pros and cons of each alternative treatment options carefully (including non opp alternatives). He also gave me an alternative no other doctor had told me about at the time: ACL repair instead of reconstruction. I ended up having surgery March 2024 with Dr Cleeman and everything went smoothly (my first big major surgery). He was able to fix the issue and my recovery went very well. Today was my last post opp visit (i’m 10 months post surgery) and the knee is feeling great. I’m back at the gym lifting heavy and hope to be back at sport shortly. I am very thankful I met Dr Cleeman, Mike and the rest of the team when i had this injury. Would definitely recommend them for anyone with similar issues. Thanks Doc and team for getting me back to walking and feeling great again!
