Dr. Shinar and his staff arranged for the earliest MRI to verify a meniscus tear per symptoms. Dr. Shinar was correct last year and this year. He provided a referral if it showed the meniscus tear per symptoms / pain. He also invited me to return to him if it was not a tear and I needed fluid drained and a shot in joint instead. He guided me to wear a brace for stability as well.
