From Our Patients

"I can't thank [Marshall Orthopaedics] enough for getting me back to normal after my accident...our special blessing was two young residents, Drs. Singh and Sayan, treating my wounds. Both were easy-going, confident, congenial and caring. They continually explained what they were doing and why." - Randy Sortet, Huntington, W.Va.
