Cole

"Cole and I went to see Dr. Canapp and his team after trying to rehabilitate what we thought was just a gastroc strain. We rehabilitated Cole a couple of times without success, so we decided to see what they could find. We showed up and were welcomed by a very friendly team. Everyone was so great to us. We had our initial exam with Dr. Canapp, who was so nice and explained everything he found and what our options were. I left Cole with them for a diagnostic ultrasound and possible needle-scope examination. When that was done, we found that Cole had a partial tear of his PCL. It was suggested that we pursue stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment. The next day, I brought him back to have the treatment done. Again, everyone was so nice and kept me informed of Cole's progress. Even the overnight team was so friendly when I called to check on him.

"The next day, I brought him home and the rehabilitation began. He had two follow-up visits with Dr. Canapp and his team and received glowing reports on how well the healing was progressing. Cole is now back doing the things he loves: agility, herding and hiking. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Canapp and his team. Their love for the animals and friendliness toward the owners made the experience very pleasant. I am so happy that this level of technology and range of treatment options were available to us. Without this technology, we would never have known about Cole's PCL tear until it was probably fully torn. With the latest treatments using stem cells and PRP, Cole's tear healed with good tissue instead of scar tissue. I can't thank Dr. Canapp and his team enough for all they did for Cole and for giving him a chance to do the things he loves again."
