I met Dr Tingey for my first appointment to discuss possible surgery on my left knee. I have some small tears or flaps from use after an extensive knee surgery 25 years ago. I went to two doctors who I felt unsure about. I just thought there was something lacking in their approach that made me question whether I should trust them with a surgery, even given that this is a much less invasive surgery then the previous one. I love yoga, it is a big part of my life, and my recent tears have left me unable to practice yoga. Going into surgery is so important to me but questionable given that I have no pain. Dr Tingey is the only doctor I feel I can trust with my knee. He was articulate, kind, and thoughtful. He explained everything about my knee that the other doctors didn’t even take the time to view on the MRI. He drew pictures and explained everything thoroughly. He spoke to me about options and really understood how much this means to me. I went home so happy that I found a doctor I could trust and actually cared about what it means to lose your ability to be involved in something you love. I have spoken to others who have been through surgery with him and have been so happy to have such a great doctor. I will also mention that the office staff is incredible. They are swift, organized and kind. Four people worked with me and it was like clockwork, everything about the office is very professional.
