From Injury to Championship Success

When a torn ACL and meniscus during his senior year of college soccer threatened his dreams of playing professionally, Adil Gowani turned to Dr. Charles Popkin. Following ACL reconstruction surgery and months of dedicated rehabilitation, Adil made his professional debut in 2018. Now, nearly a decade later, he is still playing professionally and recently celebrated a national championship title.

From the first day I saw him, he listened.

After decades of medical challenges and multiple knee surgeries, retired nurse Rita Wende faced severe knee pain, infection, and limited mobility that threatened her goal of dancing at her son’s wedding. Rita turned to Dr. Nana Sarpong at NewYork-Presbyterian, who performed a highly complex revision knee replacement. Today, she is back to traveling, spending time with her grandchildren, and enjoying retirement with less pain and greater mobility.

“Pain had defined my life. Today, I have zero pain in my back and neck.”

Karen lived with worsening scoliosis and growing pain for decades, fearful that surgery at 57 was too risky. Support groups and a trusted referral led her to Dr. Sardar, whose surgery transformed her life. Now, she is pain-free, regained height, and returned to hiking kayaking and skiing, living stronger and more active than she imagined possible.
