"I'd want to express my gratitude to Dr. Grischkan for fixing my hernia two weeks ago. I had a tiny hernia and was reluctant to get surgery because I would have to miss two months of training. Dr. Grischkan was referred to me by a friend for hernia repair. So I called Dr. GRISCHKAN and inquired how long I should take off following the procedure, and he said one week. I was surprised because every doctor I had seen before had told me to take at least two months off after surgery. Last December 29th, I traveled to Ohio. He also corrected my hernia. And he looked after me during my time in Ohio, even paying a visit to my hotel and checking on me. He was an absolute gentleman. I returned to the gym at 70 percent after a five-day training period. After two weeks of surgery, I did legs and squatted three plates on front squats yesterday. I wholeheartedly suggest him for hernia surgery to any athlete."
