recommendNOV 14, 2015 • Tom P. in Rio Rancho, NM
Dr. Austin reconstructed my elbow after a nasty bicycle crash. I healed pretty quickly, but did not like the feel of the 'hardware' needed to repair my elbow. So Dr. Austin removed the plate and screws. He said I have approximately 95% use of my elbow, but I can do 100% of everything I did before my accident~! Dr. Austin is not only a skilled surgeon, but a really personable guy as well. I highly recommend him~!
