    Dr. Jacobs answered all my questions thoroughly. He checked the mobility of my injured leg and was very pleased with it. He was pleasant and very knowledgeable.

    I felt like I was pretty dumb and being punished for asking for a different brace for my leg. My length of recovery now doubled from 6 to 12 weeks and required using the brace I did not like. I did not get a straight answer on whether or not I would need surgery.
