Why I Chose Firelands for Surgery
 


Why I Chose Firelands for Orthopedic Surgery
“Last winter when I slipped on ice and broke my leg I was rushed to Firelands Regional Medical Center's Emergency Room.  Upon arrival, I was evaluated by the ER physician who found that I had a complicated fracture.  The ER physician called in Dr. Kam Wong, an orthopedic surgeon on staff at the hospital, for an orthopedic consult.  Because the one break in my leg was so bad, Dr. Wong had to insert a metal rod and screws to fix it.  He explained that it was best to have the surgery within 24 hours, which I did.  Now I'm back at work and able to get around again.  Best of all, Dr. Wong said I'll be able to snow ski next year!

Kam M. Wong, MD,  is an orthopedic surgeon on the Medical Staff at Firelands Regional Medical Center.
