William Schrader, MD, Boston Heights OH

I tore my ACL (but I didn't know it at the time) and went to the emergency room, knee swollen, and I could not put my weight on it. It was super painful. I was told to come back and visit Dr. Schrader who gave me an x-ray and told me nothing is broken and everything is fine. I was prescribed physical therapy (which the physicians told me that, because I was flexible I hyper extended my leg and that's why it is swollen and difficult to walk on). Months later, I could walk on it but never pivot. I went on a carrousel ride and my knee popped again, swelled and I couldn't walk. I went back to him, he gave me an x-ray and told me, "Nothing is broken. " Months went on and I was in pain and couldn't do the sports I wanted. I finally (after a year later when I tore it and visited the emergency room) went to a different doctor who felt my knee, pushed it to make it extend out and said flat out, " You probably have an ACL tear and need surgery. I'm going to give you an MRI just to make sure. " I went to get that MRI and they told me is was a remote (meaning old) tear of the ACL and meniscus. Dr. Schrader did not help me and made me feel that my pain was do to something else. I do not recommend ever seeing him. It was the most awful experience ever.
