My knee was irreparably damaged by Doctor William P Urban. I went in for ACL surgery, and he didn't know my meniscus was torn until after I was under anesthesia. So he fixed my meniscus and then after a very painful 6 weeks I had to go back for ACL surgery. My knee did not heal and after a plethora of revision surgeries, my knee was infected and lost all its cartilage. At sixteen, I was left with lifelong arthritis and I no longer have a very limited range of motion.

Dr. Urban is pretty good, but his support staff is very difficult to deal with and wait times can be really long.

Highly recommended for sports injuries. After one visit I was fully confident that Dr. Urban is not only adept at his work, but also communicates well with patients, explaining the situations and offering detailed information about treatments.
