| - This will be a review for Dr. Holman Chan and then a review for Dr. Thomas Vater......
DR. CHAN:
Dr. Chan helped our grown daughter after she had a head-on accident with a semi. He is a perfectionist, an artist in his craft, very well respected in the orthopedic and surgical community, thoroughly explains everything (in layman's terms if needed), and is a kind person, to boot.
Although Dr. Chan is a foot and ankle specialist, he not only did surgery on both her tibia and fibula near the ankle, he also did an excellent job on her wrist and arm bones. He gave us excellent advice when consulting us on some prior surgeries, as well, involving her femur and knee.
We can't express how grateful we are to Dr. Chan. He is definitely a light in the dark tunnel of recovery she is going through.
DR. THOMAS VATER:
Dr. Vater was also one of our daughter's orthopedic physicians following her head-on with a semi. She had a mild compression fracture, which did not require surgery, thankfully.
We first saw Dr. Vater at UMC after our daughter was brought into trauma there via helicopter. He was very focused and professional in dealing with her. He explained everything well, gave her/nurses instructions on positioning and movement limiting, and immediately prescribed a brace for her right away to limit any future damage and to keep the area stable while it healed, which it did very quickly. He's very serious about his work; it is obvious when he's studying x-rays, asking her questions, and answering our questions and concerns thoroughly. We felt very safe with him caring for her.
