Since undergoing total knee replacement surgery in May 2021, Terry Underwood is once again living life to the fullest.
“It has given me my life back. Before the surgery, I could hardly leave my house. Now, I’m traveling again and singing in the church choir,” said Underwood. “Knee surgery has helped me feel fulfilled. I’m retired and was walking with a cane at 62. I felt much older than I actually was. Now, I can walk without pain and enjoy the things we love to do—like camping and hiking.”
Underwood received care from Michael Veale, MD, at Starr Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. He shared that he would highly recommend Dr. Veale to anyone seeking an orthopedic specialist.
“The care you receive from him is personal. He remembers who you are, and you don’t feel like just a number. Here, you’re seen as a person. My wife and I really appreciate that.”
