    Over the course of 3 1/2 years, I have received three arthroscopic knee reconstruction surgeries…read morefor torn ligaments. First two surgeries were performed by Dr. Anthony L. Agtarap. MRI images have indicated that the injury on my knee went beyond just an ACL tear, and I had significant lateral instability on my knee probably from a tear on my MCL. In my first surgery, Dr. Agatarap replaced my ACL with one taken from a cadaver after I injured my knee in high school football. To be completely honest, even after my physical therapy was and almost a year has passed since the surgery, the stability on my knee did not return at all. I was a very physically-active 18 year old at the time, and I tore my knee again the moment I attempted to play sports that required lateral movements. At the time of my second injury, I was only running to catch a football while wearing a heavy-duty Breg Fusion knee brace that was prescribed to me. Before my second surgery, I have explained to him the lateral instability on my knee that was probably a result from a tear on my MCL, and how easily I have injured it since the first surgery. His solution was merely to use a larger cadaver to replace the ACL. Needless to say, just like the first surgery, I couldn't even tell if anything was changed in my knee even after the physical therapy was completed and almost a year has passed since the second surgery date. Being even more careful than the first time, I attempted to shoot hoops by myself while wearing a heavy-duty brace, to see how the knee performed. Within a few 30-minute sessions, the knee "slid" laterally and the ACL was torn again. While Dr. Agatarap insisted on performing a similar third surgery, I was not willing to give him a third chance. I went to University of Washington Sports Medicine to see a different doctor, whom apparently used to be Dr. Agatarap's mentor while he was in medical school. Looking at the injury on my knee, he performed a much more elaborate surgery, replacing not only the ACL but MCL as well, and inserting pins to secure the instability and artificially creating scar tissues on various areas to stimulate recovery. It has been almost 3 years since my third surgery, and there has been no additional injury on my knee, despite the fact that I have been actively playing contact sports such as football or basketball. There was a world of difference in regards to the stability, after my physical therapy was completed. At this point, I am convinced that Dr. Agatarap has botched his two surgeries with me, mainly because he neglected to listen to the patient and failed to appropriately treat my condition. To be completely frank, the first two surgeries made almost no improvements on my knee. The bottom line is that I will not recommend Dr Agtarap to anyone, especially if you lead an active lifestyle. Even if my knee didn't feel fully stable, I had no choice but to try being active on it, as I was enrolled in a Reserve Officer Training Corp. No additional recovery could have been expected once the physical therapy was completed, and I needed to make the best out of my knee which clearly was not enough. Thanks to Dr. Agtarap, my ROTC career was cut short and my full-ride scholarship was rescinded. I can understand that the first surgery was probably appropriate for a first-time injury, but the temerity of Dr. Agatarap has caused me to injure my knee for the third time. The absolute least he could have done for me was to refer a better surgeon, like his mentor at the University of Washington.

    I have seen Dr. Agtarap a few times over the last 12 years regarding my left knee…read more He, and his staff, have always been incredibly thorough, friendly, helpful, and supportive of my care. I have referred several of my family members to see him, based on the excellent experience and care received.

    After years of back pain, several doctors appointments, and multiple stutter starts with physical…read moretherapy, I am pain free. Linnea took so much time to ask questions, not just on our first day, but continuing through our sessions. She is the first person to look at my complete medical history and the entire picture of how my body was functioning (or not functioning). The eventual diagnosis was both disc issues that I knew about and sacroiliac issues previously undiagnosed. She took the time to reteach me the little tedious movements that had been amplifying my pain. But she also did not strong me along in unneeded sessions. As I started feeling better, she didn't abandon me, but she slowly spaced out out appointments. I had some specific goals (jogging and pilates) I wanted to accomplish before I left therapy. She was very supportive and understanding of those. When I was able to do this pain free, she gave me her contact info in case of any issues and sent me on my way, exercises and stretches in hand. I am extremely thankful for and impressed with this office!

But what I liked best was Lennea's ability to use the Jones Strain and Counter Strain method of manipulation which is superb. There are very few people who know how to use this method properly. I highly recommend seeing Lennea for her ability to re-align the joints and provide a lasting solution to pain removal. Thanks, Lennea! It's a pleasure working with you!

    So long story short, went in 2 years ago saw knee surgeon on Westside, diagnosis, oh women your age…read moreget this kind of injury fatty hofa? Rest it will get better, well it got worse went back, need mri, my insurance said no and never heard back from doctors office. So one of the other surgeons that is a god there, called my insurance and said she needs mri asap. Got approved and I asked for different doctor since the office never called me back to say what the next steps were to get approval for mri.Got mri saw new surgeon at Eastside office,said tear in meniscus. Easy peasy. June 2024 had surgery, in recovery surgeon comes out, while I'm still doped up explains what had gone on and what he found, I have no clue what he had said, don't even remember leaving building. Well the knee still hurt bad went for several follow ups was told it takes a while. Got another mri. Another small tear and lots of arthritis, no one told me if u get surgery arthritis starts building up. I am in more pain then before surgery, gained 20 pounds, unable to do daily functions and activities. If I would have known this I would not have got surgery. Asked to speak to doctor about what can be done several times, they said oh he's booked up,see his PA. Well guess what his PA was to busy so they hired another PA to help out, this is in November, he tells me I need to think about going to a gym and see a psychologist, lol. I normally got 16000 steps in according to my fitbit, im very active and not overweight, really? January 2025 still not a word from surgeon, since June. Went to another orthopedic establishment and guess what I now need a partial knee replacement!!! I'm literally in tears! I can't believe thos surgeon doesn't have the common courtesy to explain what he did and why my surgery was not easy peasy!!! Fyi get a second opinion before having surgery and trusting the surgeon! At 50 years old I shouldn't be walking like I'm 80!!!

    He will lie to your insurance company for them to authorize unnecessary, or too early, total knee…read morearthroplasties, telling them that he had performed required steps before deeming the surgery necessary. Then, after the basic follow-ups, say two years later, he will abandon you, giving you tales of his suffering in pain, of his wearing compression hose, of taking diclophenac tablets, then going on a rant about age and God, while totally disregarding your issues. Avoid him, as there are other orthopedic surgeons who are far more honest, compassionate, and competent.
