Patient Recommendations - Here’s what our patients have to say:
"For 3 ½ months I wasn’t able to run at all. Many doctors thought it was just a muscle strain and it would heal on its own, but no matter how much I rested it didn’t. I tried everything! Then Dr. Joesting did my sports hernia repair and I’m getting better all the time-just two weeks after surgery I can run again! " Pam A. age 28, Minneapolis
