Patient Stories

I injured my knee when I fell in the stairs and got an ACL tear and a meniscus tear. Dr. Jesper examined me and explained the injuries to me perfectly. He did ACL reconstruction and repaired the meniscus and I was back at work, on crutches, after 3 weeks. The rehab was tough but now I have been back playing tennis and the knee feels great.

After a car accident I didn’t think I was going to be able to play any sports anymore, but thanks to dr. Jesper and his Team my knee got fixed with surgery and rehab and I’m back playing handball with my team. Thanks Team Jesper.

After a knee injury during training I had ACL-reconstruction and another ligament repaired by dr. Fritz. It was super professional and I’m back playing games without thinking about my knee. Thank you dr. Fritz!

Came to see dr. Fritz as a second opinion. Very professional, explained everything about the injury, my options for treatment and his recommendation. Surgery went very well and I was back playing games after 9.5months. Thank you!

I am 42 years old and had pain in my knee while running. I did physiotherapy and tried injections and other treatments but nothing would help. I had seen two different doctors and they both said I had to stop running because of a meniscus tear that could not be treated. I was recommended to see dr. Jesper and he explained the injury much more detailed and did surgery to repair the meniscus. After the surgery I had less pain and after 4 months of rehabilitation I started to run. 10 months after the surgery I ran a half-marathon without pain and I am forever grateful to dr. Jesper for his excellent knowledge and surgical skill to help me.

I sustained my knee injury during a violent tackle in rugby. I had tears of ACL, PCL and outside of the knee. I travelled from Kuwait to see dr. Jesper and his team and he operated my knee two days later with 4 ligament reconstructions at the same time. I was on crutches for 6 weeks but was able to do a lot of exercises for the rest of the body. It has now been one year and my knee is stable without pain and I’m very thankful for making the journey to get the best help possible from dr. Jesper, the physiotherapists and the whole team he has.

I had an ACL reconstruction by dr. Jesper. He did a great job. Best knee surgeon in the Middle East!

My knees were bent outwards and nobody could help me. Finally I got to meet dr. Jesper, he instantly did x-rays and MRI and understood and explained to me what was the problem. I did surgery to make my left knee straight and then 4 months later I did the other one. Now I have straight knees and no pain and I can highly recommend dr. Jesper.

A tackle ruined my 2024 season due to ACL-tear, MCL-tear and meniscus tear. I saw dr. Jesper the next day and three days later he did the surgery with ACL-reconstruction, MCL-reconstruction and meniscus repair. It was a lot of ice and exercise in the beginning but it was all worth it. I was ready for the 2025 season with a good knee.

I had a knee pain for 1 year and all the doctors told me to stop football. I flew from Saudi to Abu Dhabi to see dr. Jesper. He showed me I had cartilage injury and he did transplant of cartilage to repair it. I can again pray on my knees and play football less than a year after the surgery. If you need help with your knee, take a second opinion from dr. Jesper, it can change everything.

I had ACL-tear from football. Dr. Fritz did the surgery with reconstruction and extra ligament to make it stronger. Very little pain after surgery. I’m super-happy back playing soccer.

I had a PCL tear after a fall on the ice. I tried to go back to sports but wasn’t able to. I was recommended to stop sports, but I then met dr. Jesper who did PCL reconstructive surgery. Now I’m back full time as a hockey referee again and have no complaints about the knee.
