The best thing about Dr. Deluca is that he spends a lot of time with you and tries to provide answer to all your questions. The not so good thing is that his diagnosis was far from correct. He was unable to identify that my ACL was totally insufficient. He was also unable to identify that I had a torn meniscus and that was causing all the pain and suffering. I finally got is all fixed at a different location and am pain free and mobile now.
