Patient Reviews
Aug 02, 2023
Barely conscious, and not knowing where I was going, was flown from local hospital to Doctors Hospital in Modesto, where Dr. Braaton assessed condition of my broken hip. He succinctly described available surgical options, including advantages and limitations of each. Insertion of a steel rod was his recommendation and was performed with the huge advantage of 3-4 months recovery time vs. more than year with traditional methods. My local physical therapist says I was extremely fortunate to have Dr. Braaton, as extreme skill is involved for the option, so most surgeons opt for the more traditional but extremely debilitating choice. And…only five weeks after surgery, I have gone from wheelchair to walker, to only needing a cane!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Dr. Braaton!
