In Response To: need suggestion(old injury of ACL) (Jerry)

And by the way, normally how many times do I need to see my OS in the whole process? My insurance will only cover 4 times every year and I will set the operation plan and schedule with my OS tomrrow which is is the first visiting this year.

Thanks!
