Dr. Rozmaryn is an excellent surgeon who cares about his patients and does everything he can to give you the best possible outcome. He saw me for four surgeries over eight months to treat my badly fractured distal radius and a fractured metacarpal.
Although I had a bad fracture, he quickly came up with a surgical plan that would work. He used new technology called a spanning plate that spanned from my radius to my metacarpal and put traction on my wrist allowing my fracture to heal and not to be fused at the wrist. He also used a plate on the other side to align the broken bone fragments. He used bone grafts where I had lost bone because of the fracture to improve my outcome. Later, he repaired my fractured metacarpal by inserting a screw into it using only two small incisions. He removed the spanning plate and the plate on the other side.
I had confidence in Dr. Rozmaryn’s surgical plan because he explained everything using pictures on his computer, and took the time to answer all my questions. He gave me his cell phone number to contact him after the surgery if I had concerns and saw me right away when I did.
Thank you Dr. Rozmaryn!
