I had an MRI showing a torn meniscus. I was referred by my General Practitioner to Doctor Golod. My surgery is in a week.



What I can already say is that I was grossly overweight, smoked, and was a walking candidate for a heart attack. Doctor Golod took the time to "scare me straight. He told me straight out that the general anesthetia might kill me and recommended local anesthetic. I left the office two weeks ago committed to improving. I quit smoking cold turkey and put myself on a good diet.



We will see how the surgery goes; but I was impressed that Dr. Golod took the time to care, took the time to explain the problems in my way, and did not push me into surgery.
