Protocols

Post Operative & Rehab

I injured myself playing pickle ball and went into ROC Express. I was diagnosed by Dr. Renny Uppal with ACL and meniscus injuries on my left knee. He is a great doctor very kind, patient, knowledgeable, explained everything very thoroughly and answered all my questions. The surgery went well and recovery is going great that to Dr. Uppal.

Barbie

My husband had arthroscopic surgery almost 4 years ago. The surgery went extremely well. The care, expertise, and knowledge of Dr. Renny Uppal and his staff are top notch. Both my husband and I had/have left knee problems which led us back to seeing him. He tested the strength and movements of our knee. He immediately scheduled MRIs. When we came back to discuss the results, he told us both we needed a full knee replacement. If you want the best, see Dr. Renny Uppal.

Lynn

The staff at the Carson ROC are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and I cannot recommend them enough. Dr. Uppal thoroughly explained my results and guided me in the right direction. I will definitely use them in the future if I need more care.
