Aaron Rodgers is currently on a mission. While most athletes take over a year to heal and recover from an Achilles injury, Aaron Rodgers is looking to make a return to the field within 4 months. All this is thanks to Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the world-renowned surgeon who has previously worked with stars like Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, ElAttrache talked about what it is like for him to work with these elite athletes. While he has been able to help these professional athletes, ElAttrache considers many of them family after spending so much time with them.

ElAttrache changed the lives of these players

ElAttarche performed the ground-breaking Speed Bridge technique to fix Rodgers’ Achilles injury. Just like Aaron Rodgers, Kobe Bryant also had his Achilles surgery from ElAttrache in 2013. Rodgers had previously worked with ElAttrache in 2017 when he got his collarbone repaired. In 2008, ElAttrache worked with Tom Brady to fix his knee.

ElAttrache is grateful to work with these stars as he gets to see different sides of them. He said, “‘I get to see another human being when there’s very little guard up. So I tend to have the privilege of seeing the real essence of people.“

Even when the eyes of the nation are on these athletes and they are waiting for their recovery, ElAttrache is not afraid of anything. He wants the best for his patients. “I feel comfortable that, whatever I do, I’m offering the patient or the player the best care that they can have. Certainly, I don’t think I would be taking care of somebody if I thought there was somebody better at doing the things I do,” ElAttrache told the Daily Mail.

While most people in the world take a lot of time to recover from such injuries, ElAttrache has made things possible for these athletes that other surgeons can’t do for them. His techniques and rehabilitation are unmatched, and that is why superstar players are going to him for help.

Aaron Rodgers and Kobe Bryant did the same thing

One thing Kobe Bryant did when he injured his Achilles in 2013 was get surgery the very next day. This is something that Aaron Rodgers knew about. So, right as Rodgers got injured, he thought of Kobe Bryant and what Kobe had done to get back to his game as quickly as possible.

This is one of the reasons that has contributed to the recovery process. What do you think of the impact of ElAttrache’s work on future athletes? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
