“It was the day I had an appointment with Dr. Pater…he instantly recognized my issue and he wanted to get it fixed. There were no mysteries. Everything was always well explained. I took my motorcycle out for a January ride because I hadn’t been able to ride it in years. My life’s back and I’m more than grateful.”

“8 weeks post thumb reconstruction. Couldn’t be more pleased with having gone to Dr. Pater. He listened, was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and compassionate, explained things in language that was understandable, was spot on with what to expect at every stage of recovery and rehab, and was an artist to boot as you could barely see any of the scars. Glad I have such a great team working on helping me get back to an active lifestyle.”
