“Put my ankle back together better than I ever could have hoped.”
Dr. Hembree was described by the Union Memorial staff as "the ankle doctor" who is said to "do like 5 of these surgeries a month" - while I can't vouch for the volume, Dr. Hembree's surgical skill, right down to the stitches, proves he's perfected his craft. Being an active person, I was really upset about trimalleolar fracture and dislocation (not to mention in a lot of pain!) but doc and the crew kept me optimistic and informed throughout, explaining the surgery, giving me realistic expectations and specific directions for my healing. Two and a half months after my injury I'm looking forward to getting back to the gym and resuming normal activity. Didn't know what to expect as far as healing and function after this accident, but I'm not even fully there and I can say for sure, my recovery in the hands of this team has been so fast and so encouraging. Always heard MedStar was the ortho center of excellence, definitely experienced it first-hand (ankle). Thank you again!
Comment - “ Great Experience ”
Dr. Hembree has been extremely professional and caring through the whole surgery process. I couldn't be happier with the surgery and my recovery. Very happy patient!
