Playing college soccer was my dream for as long as I can remember. I couldn’t wait to be a student-athlete at a Division 1 university. Two months before I was to head off to preseason I endured a rare injury that changed my life. After being misdiagnosed for 6 weeks and seeing many doctors who were far from confident that I would ever return to the soccer field, I was referred to Dr. B. The minute I walked into Dr. B’s office the care I received was unmatchable. He believed in me and believed that my soccer career was not yet over. He took on my case and became a life-long mentor. After four surgeries and two years of rehabilitation I stepped back onto the soccer field for the first time in 2013. Dr. B changed my life. Although his medical expertise is far and few between, it was his demeanor, belief, dedication and commitment to stand by me that I will never forget. Today I am healthy: I am able to run, horseback ride, play soccer, and do many activities that at one point were a far off dream. Finally and most importantly six years later Dr. B remains my biggest mentor- I look forward to the frequent calls and text conversation we share!
