I had been lucky enough to not require any major surgeries... until early last year when I severely damaged my left knee in a skiing accident. I needed two surgeries that required meniscus / cartilage repair in a few places and ligament repair, including ACL reconstruction, posterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament.
From the offset, Dr Kankate made every effort to patiently and thoroughly explain the medical implications of my injuries - I felt like I was in safe hands from the first day that I met Dr Kankate. The surgeries I required were complicated and intricate - Dr Kankate and his team handled these with the utmost precision and excellence. Every step of the way post surgeries, Dr Kankate was always available, informative, supportive and reassuring. He continued to very clearly explain the whole orthopaedic process I had undergone, the resulting changes I could expect and the physio and other support I would need through my recovery process.
It is coming up to a year from my injury and with the support of Dr Kankate and his team, I have come a long way. I am struggling to find the words to articulate how brilliantly Dr Kankate handled my case - in both the surgery itself and the aftercare. I don't think I could have asked for more at any stage of the process. He would definitely be my doctor of choice if I was unfortunate enough to go through anything like this again :).
