This doctor was the worst . I had a torn meniscus and a lot of loose cartilage and could barely walk . Gottschalk told me to let it heal in its own for 6 weeks meanwhile my muscles atrophied . I find out after the fact he is not even a surgeon or orthopedist - he is family medicine . Go see Dr Choate for any orthopedic needs - unlike Gottschalk- Dr Choate is marvelous!
