COMEBACK STORIES

Dr. Tessier and his staff are amazing. Very attentive, bedside manner is like none other, punctual and compassionate.
He truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Tessier is on the front edge of the orthopedic surgery. His experience with the top professional and division 1 athletes in the country is second to none. I can tell you as a parent of an athlete, his procedures and experience made a huge difference in my sons recovery and ability to play. The original prognosis on my sons torn labrum was surgery, 4 weeks in a sling, and 4-5 months before he could return to playing baseball. He only had 8 weeks before he had to report to campus for Fall baseball practice, so we contacted Dr. Tessier. Dr. Tessier said my son would be back swinging a bat in 6 weeks, and back to 95% in 8 weeks and be back to competing for a spot on the team. True to his word, my son was in a sling for ‘days’ and started his rehab the next day, and was full go in 8 weeks. Darin also suggested a Stem cell injection which also helped the recovery process tremendously.

When my son got to campus, the medical staff could not believe my son had surgery only weeks before. The doctors said there was no way he only had surgery 2 weeks prior to showing up on campus. They tried to hold him back from activities because they were not used to seeing such a good patient that quickly after surgery. Had we stayed with the original doctor, there is no way my son would have been ready to compete in the Fall baseball practices at 100% as he did this Fall.

We were very fortunate to have Dr. Tessier for our surgeon. I would urge you to discuss any surgery procedures you might have as he will give you the most up to date processes and recovery methods in the orthopedic field.

Dr. Tessier has walked with us through the entire journey of my son’s knee injury. After exhausting all other options we determined that his only hope for recovery was surgery, Dr Tessier spent time with our son making sure he understood the entire process. He went above and beyond our expectations on every occasion. I almost never make recommendations but I would highly recommend Dr. Tessier for any orthopedic needs.
