Ankle Fractures (Broken Ankle)

Patient image of: Joanna Meringoff

In 2018, I had a very serious compound fracture of my left ankle. Following weeks of Dr. Deland’s intricate surgeries and months of treatment and care, I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. In the early days, the risk of infection and possible amputation were difficult days. Dr. Deland steered me through those times with professionalism and kindness. Today I live a full life with work (I am a Hospice RN), travel, and hiking.

I consider Dr. Deland a highly skilled surgeon and my gratitude knows no bounds.
