Hear What Other Patients Have to Say

  • Our son is a pitcher, and he tore his UCL in February of his freshman year of college. It took a little while to determine his diagnosis and to find the doctor who would work best for us, but once we contacted TMI Sports Medicine, Tanner was able to get an appointment, plan of action, and have surgery within 2 weeks. As a parent, insurance was also important to us, and even though we were from out of state, TMI got it all handled and approved even faster than the doctor we saw in our home state!!!

    We chose Dr. Hendawi because he offers more than just the traditional Tommy John surgery with the hybrid version which we believed would provide the best long term strength for his return to the mound. From start to finish, Dr. Hendawi, Haley (his PA), and Zach (TMI’s PT) took amazing care for our son. He was released yesterday to start his pitching return, and he is already throwing within 3-4 mph of his original velocity. He doesn’t have any pain. We would chose Dr. Hendawi and the team at TMI Sports Medicine again if we had any other issues for anyone in our family!!!!

  • Dr Meister is bar none hands down the top orthopedic surgeon at what he does in the country. He is heading towards world renowned status. I hear people come from all over the country just for his expertise and I have witnessed it first hand. Our son plays baseball and we have been coming to Dr Meister for many years from High School to now at a major college with our son from various injuries due to pitching. Dr Meister does 1000’s of surgeries and could have recommended surgery right up front however he did not and tried everything to avoid it. He give injections and even told our son he “did not” want to do the surgery if he could avoid it. He said try this injection and hopefully this will work. After several visits with the injections not working we decided to do the surgery. His facility and team were over the top. Dr Meister has numerous people come in there after failed attempts from other surgeons from everywhere to finally get the prior issue resolved with Dr Meister. I don’t get these negative reviews because Dr Meister’s work is the best you will find. This is why the highest profile MLB players come from all over the country to see him and he’s the Texas Rangers Team Surgeon. Thanks Dr Meister.

  • Our soccer player has seen Dr. Au for a broken arm & a broken collarbone & received excellent care both times. He genuinely cares about his patience & made our teenager (& us) feel like we were in good hands. Easy to get an appt quickly & great/ easy communication. Wonderful office staff as well.

  • Dr. Hendawi is an excellent surgeon. We travel from San Antonio to see him because he is that good!! Our 14 year old son will be able to return to baseball after recovery because of Dr. Hebdawi’s expertise. Our family is forever grateful we found him and this practice.

  • Excellent experience with surgery considering it was our first. Fantastic referral from our HS trainer. Dr. Hendawi was very thorough and explained every step of the surgery. Now we are headed to PT hoping for a fast recovery and getting back on the diamond.
