I was involved in an auto accident, where my [ ] [ ] was most likely compromised. My x-ray confirmed there was a break, and from what they could see it most likely would be half hour surgery. Dr Kadow was assigned to my surgery and I thank God for For the providential assignment. My surgery was several weeks from the accident just before the surgery I met with the doctor And she confirmed that it would most likely be a short surgery. when she opened my hand up, it was broken in 23 places. She took the time to wire my [ ] back together. She prevented my [ ] from losing mobility! When I woke up, I looked at the clock, and I thought maybe I needed additional sleep, but when the doctor came in, she explained that it was much more extensive than the x-ray. if it wasn't for the additional titanium plate that was support for the wiring, I hardly even notice I had such an extensive break. I know several other [ ] that had lost a great portion of their ability from similar breaks. On the professional side, she is warm and considerate, and I can tell that all things are in order. She has a passion about her practice that exudes confidence. I am extremely thankful that I now have her to take care of any maintenance as time goes on. I have already referred several friends and colleagues.
