Upstate Orthopedics
"We weren't understood until we were at Upstate Orthopedics."
"There's this connection here. They don't just focus on what's wrong they want to know more about who you ARE."
"There was never a moment where we were talked to like there wasn't time for us."
"Years into recovery, Sara holds her newborn son in the very arm that others said couldn't be saved."
