Avoided Knee Surgery and Resumed Daily Exercise and Three-Mile Walks

Well, first of all, they take quality time with you when you go in for your first - I guess, your first visit, your consult. And they get to know you on a personal level and that means a lot to me. Because sometimes it seems when you go to certain particular doctor's offices, they seem kind of in a rush. But Pinnacle takes - they take their time, they get to know you and they're very, very friendly. And they want to know all about your life, personally, plus your health life. So, treat you like a family member - you know, just get to know you as a person not just, say, a number... so to speak. My name is Linda McCleskey and I live in Burkburnett, Texas. I am a payroll clerk for a government operation- based employer. I'd had a knee replacement in 2018 of my right knee and I had been taking some shots for my left knee and my goal was not to have surgery. So, I was having trouble doing, like, daily exercise, housework... like, walking and exercising. I was having a lot of trouble with my left knee. Well, I had never worked with Pinnacle but I had Dr. Schacter, he did my first knee replacement. And I have been a patient of his for about eight years - through the injections and stuff - so I had a lot of trust in him. So when he opened that clinic I decided to give the procedure a try. I tried steroids and I... I kind of, was concerned about maybe what they could do to your body, so I try not to do them really, really often. But they did give some relief, but they didn't get total relief. Basically that's really all I tried. I didn't do any therapy for my knee. I did a package that, kind of, did a whole wellness thing. The testing of your vitamins and all that, so I'm on supplements from there. And as far as the knee, I've had some procedures and I'm exercising four - five times at the gym a week, walk about three miles a day, four - five times a week and I wasn't able to do that before... not at all. Well, first of all, I had great results. Just... very caring and compassionate clinic. They listen to your concerns, they don't try to rush you, they take quality time with you and they just make you feel very comfortable in the environment. Because Sometimes when you go to a doctor, you know, or a medical facility you get kinda anxious and nervous. They make you feel very comfortable.
