"Back in Prime @69 - Last December, while on a Heli-ski trip, I fell straight down into a crevasse, severely smashing my tibial plateau.

"Excellent diagnosis and great recommendations on stretching/core exercises - Dr Tony is very thorough and does a great job recommending proper exercises and stretching to prevent ongoing knee pain issues. His diagnosis was spot on and didn't required surgery which is a big relief. He's also a great guy and avid sportsman like me. I highly recommend him."

"Dr.Tony saved my knee - After my ski accident, Dr. Buoncristiani accurately diagnosed and repaired my injuries. I spent over one year seeing him for follow-ups and his tell-the-truth attitude helped me get over the worst of my post surgery struggles. Today I officially graduated 14 months after my injury and I'm grateful that he was my doc."
