Toward the middle of my Junior season, I fractured my hip socket, and tore my labrum, and played the rest of the season and playoffs. I knew I wouldn't be able to make it through another off season of training and full game schedule if I did nothing about it. So my family and I sought out the best hip surgeon we could find. Through our research with elite runners and athletes, we found Dr. Tom Ellis. Unfortunately, the surgery that I required was going to take 6-8 months of recovery time, which meant that I might miss my senior season. Despite it being a two and a half hour drive to get to the office of Dr. Ellis, I knew I was seeing the best, and boy were the long drives worth it. Dr. Ellis and his team communicated with my parents and I about every step of the process. I know he had other patients, but I felt like I was the only one. They were able to work around my schedule as a busy Junior/Senior and we did virtual sessions to accommodate the two and a half hour distance. I did exactly what Dave Kholrieser told me to do and despite some twists and turns in my recovery; I was back on the field by game three. We are in the middle of a playoff run and I have committed to play college football at Denison University. Without Dr. Tom Ellis and Dave's help, I don't know where I'd be today.

After my professional track career as a steeplechaser, I decided to move to the marathon and train for the Olympic Trials. However, while training I started to experience groin tightness when I would run. After a very discouraging year of trying every kind of physical therapy and treatment under the sun, I finally got an MRI and learned that a labral tear in my hip was the cause of my groin pain. My physical therapist recommended I see Dr. Ellis, as he is one of the best hip surgeons in the country. I quickly made my appointment and visited him and Dave Kohlrieser. They assured me that I would get back to my passion and run pain-free again.
My experience with their team was incredible, and after a successful surgery, I have already raced two half marathons one year post-surgery. I am incredibly grateful to Orthopedic One for delivering exceptional care for me before, during, and after the surgery. Thank you for allowing me to get back to doing what I love!
