Patient testimony.

5.0 from 250+ patient reviews

As a competitive powerlifter, all I wanted was to get back on track ASAP. Dr. Abouali was the only surgeon that respected my decision for an allograft and also preserved as much of my meniscus as possible. I can go back to heavy squatting without issues!

ACL reconstruction

I had a lot of surgeons turn me away for a complex knee injury. From the moment I met Dr. Abouali, I knew instantly I had met the right medical team. My surgery took place in less than three weeks! I am so grateful to have my life back.

Complex knee surgery

Pathway Surgery was smooth and quick! I could get the surgery done within 4 weeks. Dr. Abouali was very reassuring; he listens, cares, and ensures all questions are answered. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone.
