I have received both a Birmingham right hip surgery in 2012 and a left knee replacement surgery in 2013 by Dr. Schmitt. Since then, I fence 3 x per week receiving lessons 2 x per week. I have made the U.S. Vet’s Team in 2016 and fenced in that yr.’s World Championships. I regularly practice against 20 yr. old’s. I am in the running to make the Team as a 70 yr. old. I cross train by regularly cycling 22 miles to and from work. There is very little pain in my joints that can’t be fixed with an HA shot by Dr. Schmitt. My investment in him as my orthopedic surgeon has greatly paid off. I recommend him highly as your surgeon.
