My husband is a lifelong runner, and his knee now hurts so that he can't run. Who do you even go to for that? We have Aetna and don't need a referral, but he doesn't know a good doctor to go to! Any suggestions?
Go to Associated Orthopedics and sports medicine. They are WONDERFUL!!! One of the doctors is the team dr. for the Plano Wildcats football team. My husband, daughter and I have used them many times and have been very happy. THey have an onsite xray and MRI machine and onsite physical therapy. ###-###-#### 4031 W Plano Pkwy
Plano Orthopedic & Sports Medicine. GREAT group of Dr's.
www.posmc.com We have used Sutker, Crates, Smith and a couple more. Can't go wrong with them, they are all awesome.

I would HIGHLY recommend my Orthopedist who specialized in knees and hips. I have had both knees replaced and had a fantastic experience both time. He won't replace the knees if it's not needed, though.

Again, I can't recommend him more highly!!
I used Dr. Troop for my shoulder surgery and he is wonderful too, but I would definitely use Dickie Jones. He teaches the med students at Southwetern Medical School. He was recommended to me as one of the top three orthopedists for knees in the Dallas area.
Good luck

It sounds like you have received many great doctors. I have knee problems and have had surgery on my right knee. My doctor is Dr. Duncan Ramsey. He is in Plano and everyone I have recommended him to has loved him. As a runner, Dr. Ramsey is very pro-athlete and will usually try other methods before recommending surgery.
Hope he takes care of it soon, knee problems will tend to linger and just get worse with time.
Good luck,

Plano Sports Medicine! Hurry! And I read several other reviews recommending Dr. Troop, who I think is one of the best as well.
Morning A.,
Depending on where you live- I would recommend Performance Orthopaedics in Frisco. It is located next to Centennial Medical Center at 121 & Coit. Dr. Troy Diehl & Dr. Dan Maurer are great and both are Orthopedic surgeons who are D.O. 's as well so their approach to care is not surgery first- they will treat using other means if possible first. They even have x- ray on site which is so convienent. Dr. Diehl did his sub-speciality in sports medicine and last year worked with the Cincinnatti Bengals (pro football). Both are equally qualified and young therefore are up to date with the latest & greatest techniques. They also accept Aetna insurance. Their phone number is ###-###-####. They will also get him in same day or next day.
Good luck
Try Dr. Roger Emerson. http://www.tcjr.com/staff.html
Dan Cooper at The Carrell Clinic ###-###-####
excellent sports medicine doc
I too love Dr. Troop. His daughter plays soccer with my daughter. Great guy, and he worked well with my daughter when she hurt her ankle during soccer!

His specialty is sports injuries.
Jim Montgomery is the best in town for knees...he did my knee surgery two years ago and frequently travels to the Olympics to work on their athletes...he's fabulous and nice.
Not sure where you live but I have 2 great DRs in Frico, have treated my family for total knee replacement, torn ACL, and now my husbands broken elbow and hand. there guys are AWESOME. DRS Douthit and Michaelson

and it know they take Atena, that's what we have. Dr Clavenna has also been treating my son for a fractured vertebra, he's at the Carrell Clinic in Dallas. He's good, but the drive from Frisco to Dallas gets old.
Good Luck,

I went to Dr. Dan Cooper for my shoulder and I really liked him.
Here is his website with all his information. I believe your husband will like him. He does specialize in knees and shoulders.
He possibly wore out his cartilages, I suggest nutritional supplement to help rebuild the cartilages tahn surgery. I have many people who did that and avoided surgery.
Let me know if you would like more information.

ditto www.posmc.com in plano Dr. Troop did my husbands knee surgery-- awesome doctor.... great man!
My husband absolutely loves Dr. Souryal, he has several different offices. We live in Frisco so here is the number for that office ###-###-####. I'm not sure what insurance he accepts, he is also the doctor for the Mavericks. My husband is a tennis player so I believe he is good for anyone who plays sports. Good Luck!
