Justin Golden is a K9 Handler and Instructor for the State of Georgia’s
Public Safety Department. He trains the dogs to sniff out explosives
and is assigned to the Capitol in Downtown Atlanta. He’s also 6’ 9”!
Well he was 6’ 9” with extreme knee pain and now he is at his natural
height of 7’ ¼” and pain free thanks to Dr. William Terrell!
Justin is tall and has a tall family so being well over 6 feet was normal.
What wasn’t normal is for the last few years he had been in a lot of
pain. He went to several doctors and then nally was sent to Pinnacle
to meet Dr. Willam Terrell who specializes in orthopaedic trauma,

required several surgeries for the lower and upper legs.
The surgeries were a success with rods and xators
placed in both legs. He had the xators on for only
3 months and has completed 6 months of Physical
Therapy.
And as you can see, the result is fantastic. Justin is
back at work and doing very well! Justin says that
Dr. Terrell “is great and de nitely the best doctor
I have ever been too. He cares so much about his
patients!” Dr. Terrell says, “God heals, and I take the
fee!” Dr. Terrell also credits his team saying that he
has a lot of people around that make him look good
but most importantly he says, “it was Justin and his
gumption to do this. He did everything right!”
Looks like they both did everything right.
