For the reasons above when he did my surgeries in 2023 and I made sure he would be my surgeon again when I dislocated and refractured my left ankle 10/25. We discussed the different surgeries he could do and the expected outcomes. My confidence in him is so high that I told him when you get in that ankle do what you think would be the best for me in the long run. His nerve block lasted 48 hours and when it wore off the pain was tolerable. Northwestern is fortunate to have him on staff.
