As I was laying in the hospital, leg in traction awaiting surgery, I was told my days in construction are over.
They cannot guarantee the length of the leg, and I will most likely have a limp the rest of my life.
My sister, who is a nurse, knew this doc had a less than stellar reputation.
She made bunch of phone calls, until after midnight, and lined up an highly respected orthopedic surgeon to perform the surgery.
A year later, I get a call saying it's time to remove the hardware. My response- We have to wait until I'm done framing a house. I'm not going to leave this contractor hanging.
Can't thank Dr. Ozolin enough for taking the extra care. Absolutely no issues whatsoever after the healing process.
