Countless Springboks/Stormers/Maties etc. rugby players surely can't be wrong?

Glen Vardi or Ponky Firer.

My mother is a Radiologist and has been referring to these guys for a LOOOOOOONG time.

Firer did my knee, after other quacks told me I'd never ride again, and I've since ridden to Cape Town in a week averageing 250 kms a day.

These guys are the best without question.

Vardi or Ferguson at Rosebank are excellent.

yep, i'm on the Dr Spike Erasmus wagon (The Knee Clinic - Stellenbosch medi-clinic).

 

Jake White era team doctor had a look at my knee and sent me to spike. The old chap hotdamn near popped my knee in demonstrating what he had to fix...

 

but awesome job he did, but pls pls pls, no matter who does your repair, follow the recovery process fastiduously.

Osman at Entuabeni in Dbn did my ACL reconstruction many years ago, was the second one in the smae knee so it was a bit tricky. A twat who shall remain nameless stuffed up the first one, first time back on the rugger field and it just disintegrated. His work has survived more rugby, a few marathons, a comrades and a whole lot of mtbing including a fair share of wipeouts.

Andrew_ew: maybe tell us who this 'twat' is. remember, it's only an opinion, which you are most certainly entitled to. but if a doc out there stuffs up, i would like to know who to avoid. No one's perfect, but still...

Old Mickey blue eyes is good with knees...but only if you don't pay up

Glen Vardi - Rosebank,he diagnosed me in 5min,i had seen 3 other well known orthopedes and they could not find the fault.

i went under Vardi's knife which entailed reconstructive surgery ... 6 months later i was back in for a scope.

i walked into his offices being able run and now 3.5 years later the only thing i can run without any problems is a bath!!!

 

Vardi's response to my ongoing problem was "there are no guarantees" ...

 

Good luck .... but get as many opinions as you can or can afford.
