Dr. Shank treated me like a genuine professional. Most doctors recommend what they would do in your position. He made it evident that he was most interested in accommodating what I thought was best for my career. He cleared his schedule, repaired my broken ankle the day after I injured it, and I went on to win world championship less than 4 weeks later.
