After 20 years of athletic pursuits, I tore my ACL during a soccer game and was devastated. My degree and career were in ballet and contemporary dance and in one moment, I felt I had lost it. I went in for consultations with other orthopedists and left feeling angry, confused and -worst of all- left out of the conversation about what was happening with my own body. Following these experiences and a lot of research, I found Dr. Khalfayan. He had the most extensive and specialized experience and knew how to work with athletes. I felt going in that I could finally trust someones conclusion. Moreover, he was direct and to the point but explained exactly what had happened, what the current state of my knee was, what options I had and what the long term results of each choice would be. The following week, he reconstructed my ACL using a graft from my hamstring tendons. I chose to be kept awake for the surgery and he explained what he was doing throughout. It was the easiest day of my injury. With his guidance and a great team at Greenlake Sports PT, within three weeks I was back to full range of motion and using the stationary bike, within seven months I felt my balance and strength were better than before, within 10 months you could hardly see the small scars and at a year, I was accepted and moved to Sinaloa, Mexico to dance with Delfos Contemporánea and the National Ballet de Cuba in residency. There are no words to articulately explain my gratitude for Dr. Khalfayans work and the resilience of the human body.

I highly recommend the good doctor- and just did in fact. So, I write this review as well. I have tears in both shoulders, rotator cuff and slap tears. To avoid surgery, a primary goal, he advised PRP injections. Look it up! They are relatively new and were not covered by my insurance, but I took his advise and the risk. They were very successful. Intense pain completely gone in one shoulder and almost nearly gone in the second should - I am still rehabbing and am still feeling improvement. I couldnt be happier. And, for a Dr. of such high standing, he is very unassuming and a good communicator. I appreciate that as well.

No apology after I waited for over an hour in his office at my year follow up appt for ACL reconstruct. My hamstring looks like a wrinkled old man, and my shin/ankle are numb. He told me that he must have cut a nerve when harvesting the hammy, and my leg would never go back to normal. Im bummed about my leg, but people make mistakes. What bothers me, is that he never told me about the possible risks involved in hamstring graph, and wasnt humble enough to apologize about my leg or being late.

4.5cm rotator cuff tear in right shoulder. Not into football or baseball but I do some ranch roping and branding of cattle and even compete some. It seemed a long shot to 100% recovery. He did the work and I did the PT follow-up with good help. I am at least 100%. I havent run into anyone else that says that. If you are serious about getting the job done correctly this guy is your surgeon. Thanks again Doc.
