Professional golfer Peter Jacobson, a 2004 USGA Senior Open Champion, required a surgeon with a reputation for exceptional results.

Peter Jacobson was hitting golf balls and was back on the green in an amazing three weeks postoperative. Please see Peter's testimonial on the website.

Peter also had Dr. Bertram replace his right knee. Please see his story regarding his Exactech knee at www.Exac.com.
