At 49, I was crippled. I had played sports and had numerous knee injuries. I first blew out my PCL and tore my meniscus at 16. I had no ACL in my left knee and I had gone through shots, gel injections and 6 different arthroscopic surgeries from High School to my 40's. I was bone on bone. I had gained weight and couldn't work out. No hiking, no biking, no golfing, nothing. My cardiologist told me to do something or else. I saw Dr. Kitziger. He told me I needed both knees done. Though rare, he would do it if I lost the weight and proved to him I would be successful. He replaced both my knees on the same day. I went to a Rehab facility and followed his instructions. I attacked my rehab and I got a new lease on my life! Today, I am loving life! Dr. Kitziger is both a great surgeon and a great physician. He even heard a palpable popping on my IT band when he had sewn my left knee up... made the decision to open me back up and fix that. I have no doubt many surgeons would have made me live with that. I am thankful for his care and his expertise! I would recommend him no matter what you have to do to have him on the end of your scalpel! Geaux Tigers! read more
