I went to Dr. Vetter after the rehab therapists for my previous ortho doctor kept telling me I could get a second opinion. She did for me what the last doctor couldn't. She used the right treatment, technique, & procedures that had me back on my feet. I shredded my ACL & PCL, ripped loose my LCL, & tore my MCL, plus other damage on a work injury. The first doctor would have never been my first had I known others who knew him, but this is about Dr. Vetter & how she had me back on the job in heavy equipment in less than a year, working under restricted conditions from the worker's compensation person, plus gave me life skills to keep my knee strong as one can after an accident like that. Unfortunately 2 years later we found I had cancer. She only became my now previous doctor because I moved to the other side of the state. I am fortunate I have found another great specialist. Dr. Vetter has & will always have my respect & deepest gratitude.
