"I was so lucky to get Dr. Robertson as my surgeon. He stayed late to get me into surgery the same day … I feel like I'm in the best hands."

In December 2019 I had a climbing accident resulting in an open wrist fracture as well as a T12 fracture. I am so thankful to Dr. Robertson and Dr. Childs for their excellent care. Dr. Robertson performed my wrist surgery; I'm back rock climbing again and I barely know I broke it. - Terry L.
