I highly recommend Dr. Bennett and this is my Testimony: After I slipped on a slick floor which was followed by 6 months of crippling knee pain that was diagnosed as a bruised/sprained bursa joint during which I went thru a series of steroid shots and the Euflexxa 3-shot series for a bone on bone condition that x-rays and MRI’s confirmed that I did not have. A friend of mine in Colorado had had a successful stem cell treatment on her bone-on-bone knee and so I was encouraged by her pain-free results and when I finally could not bear the pain any longer I researched the Sarasota, FL area and found Dr. William Bennett to see if he could diagnose why the bursa joint was still so painful after all of the former treatments. After reviewing my previous x-rays and MRI’s Dr. B performed an ultrasound, himself, on my knee. It was immediately and clearly visible that I had a torn meniscus which had never been diagnosed in the past 6 months. Since my knee was not bone-on-bone and I was not a candidate for the stem cell treatment, Dr. B recommended the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment with which he had had previous success. He believed, in my case, if the PRP was successful it would mend the torn meniscus and thereby giving me more support for the bursa joint. I had the PRP treatment done, by him, in his surgical office that very day. The procedure was totally pain free, and I will try to describe in layman’s terms what was done: Blood was drawn, the blood and some white blood cells are whirled in a centrifuge machine which separated the rich platelets from the used ones and a concentration of platelets in a small amount of plasma created the PRP. The PRP was then injected into the meniscus, the bursa and several places around the knee that were arthritic. The whole process took around 30 minutes. I went into Dr. Bennett’s office in terrible pain and using a walker and after the PRP treatment I got up from the table unassisted walked out of his office on my own and have been walking unassisted and virtually pain-free since March 23, 2016. I hope my story and my review will encourage others to keep searching until you find either Dr. Bennett in Sarasota, FL or a doctor that performs these types of treatments in lieu of total knee replacement unless, it’s unavoidable. When I went for my 2 week checkup, Dr. Bennett was surprised and overjoyed that I was doing so well and that the PRP treatment was successful so quickly for me after I had suffered for such a long time and that the bursa joint was also virtually painless. God Bless Dr. Bennett and PRP.
