- “In June, I was involved in a tragic motorcycle wreck that destroyed both of my wrists, and I subsequently needed 5 pins surgically implanted in my wrists. Doctor Peljovich was the attending surgeon that had been following up on my recovery. The day after I got discharged from the hospital, two of the pins became infected, and we had to do an emergency removal of both of them. I then had to come back three weeks later to have the remaining pins removed, which took longer than expected but went very well. Upon one of the following appointments, we realized the bones in my right wrist had dent properly realigned, and we would have to do a fusion surgery. In Jan., we moved forward with the surgery but could not complete it due to an infection in my wrist. We then waited two months to complete a course of antibiotics to get rid of the infection. April 27th, we finally got the surgery completed successfully, and things have been great ever since. Thanks to Dr. Peljovich and his amazing team, recovery has gone amazingly well.”– Kairi D.Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:

- “Dr. Ratner was kind, gentle, and had a great bedside manner with my newborn son. He took the time to explain my son's treatment plan with me and via phone with my son's father, who could not be there in person due to the COVID policies. During the following weekend, when we had concerns about my son's hand, I emailed Dr. Ratner some pictures and the questions. He promptly responded, providing reassurance and even offering to see my son in the office the next day preferred. Although it was not necessary, we greatly appreciated Dr. Ratner's swift response and concern for our son.”– Cinnamon C.Treating Doctor:Patient Rating:
