I was extremely pleased with the care and attention I received by all involved. I must mentioned James who applied my casts. This was my first broken bone and he was very gentle and took time to explain what he was doing. All your staff is wonderful.

I love the fact that he was up front and straightforward with me. Sometimes we have to hear things that we don't really want to like know you cannot drive it's not going to be safe and he pointed out why and that was great. I need to be honest with myself.

Dr. Chidgey was very professional as always. This is the 2nd time I've an issue with my hands that he will
perform surgery on. Considering we live in Jupiter, Florida and drove up to Gainesville to see him, speaks for itself.

Everyone was really nice to me

All information about my wrist condition and answer to my questions given me by the interning physician
was very good. When the supervising orthopedic doctor entered the room the expertise of years of
his outstanding work became apparent. Any concerns about my having re-injured my wrist were
erased with his knowledge of the prior healing process even with major amount of hardware involved. It was reassuring to know that no further treatment is necessary unless my health deteriorates and intense pain becomes immanent.
