Patient Reviews
Feb 26, 2025
I broke my elbow and two bones in my arm 20 days ago. A week later, Dr. Maender performed surgery with exceptional skill. Today, the cast was removed, and I’m thrilled to say my bones have healed beautifully. I owe it all to his expertise and care. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him when I needed it most. His entire staff is outstanding: compassionate, punctual, and thorough in their explanations. I couldn't have asked for better care!
