ALWAYS get 2nd and 3rd medical opinions if it's not someone you have an established relationship with, and ALWAYS look at the x-rays, MRI reports, etc yourself. I saw podiatrist, Dr. John Mwando...read more, in New York who ordered an MRI on my ankle. He told me that he would need to operate if it was a grade 2 or 3 sprain. He called me with the results. He said "everything is torn. You tore everything." and proceeded to tell me that in a grade 3 sprain the ligaments do not attach themselves without surgery. I told him I wanted the MRI report. He emailed it to me. Not "everything" was torn. My anterior talofibular ligament was torn. My calcaneofibular ligament was only partially torn. No damage to any of my tendons. No muscular damage. No damage to my bones or the ankle joint itself. I saw two more top surgeons (one an orthopaedic surgeon, another a podiatrist).

Fast forward 2 whole months, discomfort and steadily growing weary about the situation, I finally found Dr. Mwando. He educated me about the problem, treated it immediately and prescribed the best cure for it. I saw results overnight! It's a few days since our initial appointment, and the infection is going away with the area healing quite nicely which very positively highlights his wound-specialist capabilities. Definitely book him. No disappointments. Seen immediately each time since my first appointment. Rapport, professionalism and desirable results are important to me, and Dr. Mwando lived up to my expectations. Thank you! ...read less
