Patient Reviews
Dec 13, 2024
I fell 15 feet from my second story deck handrail to the ground below. I was doing gutter and downspout cleaning and I slipped on the wet handrail. My luck that day was anything but good until I heard that I would be treated by Dr. Michael Principe. He is the one you would look to if a family member needed surgery. My femur was broken in the fall and Dr. Principe was able to rebuild with a partial titanium ball. Six bones were broken in my pelvis and I broke right rib number 6. I spent about a week at Christiana Hospital and another week at the rehab in Wilmington. I’m home and up walking again with awalker. The pain is still there but tolerable. I’m very lucky to be alive and moving again. I thankful to have Dr. Principe in my life.
