Patient Reviews
Aug 24, 2021
Dr. Bryan Folkers is a masterful plastic surgeon. I came to Dr. Folkers with an open wound about 5" long by 3" wide and over an inch deep with exposed metal from extensive bone repair surgery in my lower leg. My odds of keeping my leg being over 60, diabetic, and obese, were pretty grim. Dr. Folkers worked with a number of experimental treatments in addition to traditional therapies. In less than 4 months, my wound is nearly completely healed over. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Folkers and his incredible team of medical professionals. My results are incredible, and my gratitude is unending. Dr. Folkers is by far the best plastic surgeon in the business.
