    Dr. Udall is amazing. We were referred to him by a friend whose daughter had two knee surgeries with him 4 years ago. Since then we have seen him more than half a dozen times with two different kiddos. He goes above and beyond for his patients and has worked really hard to determine the right treatment for a tricky knee.
