Patient Stories
"Being able to do gymnastics in my condition was a way to prove to myself and others that I’m not fragile or different from everyone else.”
“To be able to say today that I am an athlete; I have scoliosis; and most importantly, I didn't let it stop me means more than you can ever imagine.”
It was a comfort that she'd done this rare procedure a few times
Not having the pain, being able to walk and move freely, it's impossible for me to put into words what that means.
I received the best orthopedic care in the city from one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the country.
