​​Making the right choice for your knee

Dr. Marc Jacob Strauss has spent his career specializing sport and trauma related injuries to the knee. These are  often serious injuries that end seasons and can affect careers if not managed properly: ACL and multi-ligament ruptures, meniscus tears, patellofemoral instability, and complex revision surgery. Today, more than 85% of his clinical practice consists of athletes at every level, from recreational competitors to professional (fotball, alpine skiing, ishockey) and Olympic athletes.

Why elite athletes choose Dr. Strauss

Athletes and their federations choose Dr. Strauss because his recommendations are built on direct, current experience with the exact injuries that occur at the highest levels of athletes, not on generalized protocol. Every plan is calibrated to the individual: the sport, the position, the competitive calendar, and the realistic path back to full performance.

​

Our approach

Every recommendation is grounded in current clinical evidence and communicated honestly, including its potential limitations. Whether the goal is a return to the highest level of competitive sports, or simply moving through daily life without pain, the same standard applies: a precise diagnosis, a clearly explained plan, and a surgical or non-surgical approach chosen because it is right for the individual patient, not the easiest one to offer.
