How to Choose the Right ACL Doctor

ACL Doctor

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament — more prominently known as the ACL — has become a focal point in the field of medical practice. The ACL is located in the knee and allows for us to have the necessary maneuverability in order to properly bend the knee and withstand the necessary pressure in order for us to stand, walk, and jump on all different types of terrain and surfaces. Unfortunately, ACL tears, sprains, and injuries have become more prevalent in recent years especially in the workforce, and athletic realms as many patrons and athletes tend to overexert themselves during knee-strenuous activity. Luckily, Dr. Angelo Mattalino of Angelo Mattalino, MD in Phoenix, AZ is a renowned ACL doctor in the southwest region and offers several alternate sports medicine treatments for the betterment of his patients.

Before consulting with or assigning an orthopedic specialist to take on your medical needs, take the proper steps in order to ensure that your orthopedic specialist is highly qualified and will perform to the best of their abilities for the sake of your health. Here’s a list of factors and questions you would like to keep in mind when in the hunt for an ACL doctor.

Ask Around For Orthopedic Specialists

It is important to stay as organized as possible when beginning your search for a highly qualified orthopedic doctor. Start by curating a list of potential ACL specialists and ask your family, friends, and healthcare provider for as many qualified recommendations as possible.

Research Proper Credentials & Experience

Researching your list of potential orthopedic specialists is one of the most important and determining factors when choosing an ACL doctor. Search for a specialist who is board certified in both orthopedic and ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) surgery and performs these particular procedures regularly. Also, search for any information on whether the doctor is affiliated or works for any athletic organizations.

Examine The Hospital’s Performance

Researching the history and performance aspects of your orthopedic specialist is important but examining where your potential doctor practices medicine is just as important, so make it a requirement that you also research the hospital space and orthopedic team of your potential physician as well.

Interview Your ACL Doctor

As your search/list of qualified orthopedic doctors/surgeons narrows down, you can start calling and asking your potential practitioner’s office for a consultant meeting in order for you to formally meet and interview the physician.

First, ask yourself if you’re comfortable speaking with the doctor. Also, ask yourself during and following the interview process if the MD respects your opinions as a patient and if they answered all of your questions in a way that was concise and understandable for you.
