Dr Shneider, 

Approximately 11 months ago I was referred to you from Iowa by my physician.  I just wanted to write and let you know how well my knee is doing. I have a knee that functions better than it has for the last 20 years! It is amazing to be able to walk without the constant pain and fear of kneecap dislocation.  I am still working on regaining quad strength but I am looking forward to once again biking RAGBRAI this summer, which is the week long bike ride across the state of Iowa. Every day I am so grateful to have come to Michigan last year for my surgery. Thanks again for taking my case when none of the surgeons around here would touch it!  Thank You!

Sincerely, 
MO
