The follow-up care after the femur surgery was poor at best. The majority of the follow-up appointments were with the PA, not the doctor; even after driving 100 miles for the appointment. Trying to get referral letters for PT treatment has been extremely slow. Had I known follow-up care would be this difficult, I would have gone to another hospital.

Dr Likes is a hero in our home! We have two boys; one who had experienced a buckle fracture and the other a dislocated elbow (this one just yesturday!). Both boys [and their emotional mom) were put at ease by Dr Likes' explaining and quick actions; we were all amazed at the immediate ease of pain when the dislocated elbow was turned and popped back into it's proper place. Dr Likes is the only Orthopaedic Surgeon we would trust with our bones.
