- January 12, 2026 Before my operation, I was dealing with persistent pain in my left leg, significant swelling, and a noticeable loss of quad activation and function. As a competitive basketball player, these issues were severely limiting my performance and making it difficult to play at the level I expect of myself. I exhausted conservative treatment options and committed to high-level strength training, but nothing provided lasting relief.
That’s when I decided to see Dr. Brian Cole. From the very first visit, Dr. Cole was incredibly thorough, informative, and reassuring. He clearly explained what was causing my symptoms and outlined a treatment plan that finally made sense. Shortly after, I underwent surgery with the goal of returning to the sport I love.
After a long and demanding recovery process, I’m proud to say I’m back on the court. The swelling is gone, the pain is no longer an issue, and my strength and function have been fully restored. The outcome exceeded my expectations, and I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Cole and his exceptional team for their expertise, care, and support throughout the entire process.
