I had my first appointment with Dr. Dan Dernay over 20 years ago and that visit changed the course of my life. At the time, I was in constant pain day and night and could barely walk. Kaiser had me scheduled for back surgery and the surgeons told me that I would never be able to play my favorite sport, table tennis, ever again. That didn't sound like the kind of future I wanted, so I searched around for an alternative. That is when a friend suggested I see Dr. Dernay. From my very first visit I started to feel immediate relief. I continued to improve and by the time I went to my pre-opt appointment with Kaiser, I was doing much better. When I showed the team of doctors how well I was now able to move around, two of the doctors still thought I should have the surgery while the third one told me I should continue seeing Dr. Dernay. It was his advice that I took and I have never once regretted it. Within two years I won the biggest TT tournament of my life!
