Patient Reviews
Aug 31, 2022
Had knee pain after OHV trip to Moab. Dr. Knackendoffel exclaimed what had happened to cause the pain and reccomended an injection. I felt confident that he knew what he was doing and expected a good outcome within the expectations he described. It's been over 3 years and I have had no pain since. This was far better than the worst case outcome that Dr. Knackendoffel offered but it's obvious to me that he did the injection well. I would choose him again or reccomend him to others.
