"I am an ophthalmologist. I have no association with Newport Orthopedic
Institute other than as a patient. Three weeks ago I took a hard fall
while cycling landing on my shoulder. I shattered my collar bone and had
a smaller fracture to my elbow, this happened on a Saturday.
The Newport Ortho Institute was the practice covering the ER, and the ER
staff gave me the name of one of the specialists to follow up with. On
Monday I saw Dr. Desai and after reviewing the x-rays and discussing the
options, I opted to proceed with surgery. This occurred 5 days later.
Dr. Desai had to piece together a few loose bits of bone and re-approximate
them in position with a titanium plate and about 12 screws…all
in tight, swollen tissue.
I am so pleased with the results. It is 2 weeks post-op and I have great
range of motion, good strength and I've already been back on my bike.
I can't thank him enough for his technical skills, but he is also
kind, and personable, and has a pleasant bedside manner. I could not be
happier with my experience with Newport Orthopedic Institute, the surgical
facility and staff downstairs, and of course, Dr. Desai. Thank you everyone."
