“When I fell on a Saturday night and broke my right (dominant) wrist, the ER dr. tried to reduce it, but told me to call an orthopedic surgeon on Mondaymorning, as I probably would need surgery. I had never had a broken bone, so didn’t know any orthopedic doctors, but through a friend, I was blessed to be given Dr. Lourie’s name. When I first called the office, Brittany was sympathetic to my situation and asked me to come in within 2 hours of my call to have x-rays and see how to proceed. Though Dr. Lourie was in surgery, they emailed him my x-rays, and he took time to look at them, and I received a call asking me to come in and meet with him Tuesday morning. From that first meeting, Dr. Lourie and his staff have shown me such kindness and compassion, encouraged me, and assured me that they would take good care of me and get me well. Dr. Lourie tried to avoid surgery, but it turned out to be necessary, and he and his staff took time to answer my questions and explain things to me regarding the surgery and everything else they have had to do, giving me confidence in their medical skills and personal concern for me. Four months, 2 surgeries, and 7 casts later, I am now in a splint and having therapy with their equally wonderful therapy group, with Dr. Lourie continuing to provide follow-up care. Though my injury wasn’t life-threatening, even up to the present, it has certainly been life-changing. But without the quality of medical care I received from Dr. Lourie and his staff, it could have been permanently life-altering. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Lourie and his staff for all they have done for me and have no hesitation about recommending them to anyone in need of their particular skills and care.”
