Amazing Surgeon!!\r
Our dog Nala was a healthy, athletic medium sized dog (48 lbs). She tore the ligament in her left knee in 2011 from actively running, playing with other dogs (many much larger then her in weight). At first we thought it was a temporary sprain and thought time would heal. We allowed way too many months to go by with Nala limping (not using that leg). Dr. Holtsinger came recommended by our vet. Dr. H is medically very well read. We approved for her to perform cranial cruciate Ligament surgery on our family dog. Dr. H. is personally there post surgery on her cell. Very compassionate, but most importantly an excellent surgeon. Nala began walking the following day. Six months later in Dec 2011, Nala tore the ligament in her right knee by jumping to chase squirrels and landing wrong. As soon as I heard the yelp and pain...I hand carried her until I could get in touch with Dr. H. and we scheduled the surgery immediately. This second surgery and leg healed easier due to not postponing as I did on the 1st knee because of the unknown. Nala loves walks, and playing and lives an extremely healthy life style (her muscle tone & strength on her hind legs are not what they were and I limit her jumping and wrestling w/other dogs now) but it is because of Dr. Holtsinger's surgical talent. My college daughter & I thank her for saving our Nala.\r
