    Shamsy Kazemi-Bardool

    Shamsy Kazemi-Bardool traveled from Iran in April 2010 to have Dr. Bal perform bilateral total knee replacement.

    “My friend Parvin recommend Dr. Bal to me, and I am very pleased that she did,” Shamsy explains.

    Shamsy admits that, at first, she was skeptical, but with the information provided by Dr. Bal and his office staff, and the support of her friend Parvin, she felt reassured and moved forward with her plans for surgery.

    “I am very satisfied with the outcome of my surgery and the improved quality of life I am now enjoying. I am happy that I went through with it,” she says.

    Her words to Dr. Bal: “I will recommend you to anybody who needs an orthopedic surgeon. I wish you and your family good health and happiness through life.”

    In The News

    “Resurfacing has been around for decades, but MU's Dr. Sonny Bal is working on a less invasive way to do it. Instead of the traditional method of cutting through muscle at the back of the hip, Dr. Bal spreads apart the muscles at the front.”
