Orthopedic Associates of Marlboro

I had the unfortunate experience of slipping on ice and landing on my left arm. Needless to say, the pain was excruciating so I ended up in the Leonard Morse ER. The ER doctor examined my arm and X-​rays were taken and it turned out I had a radial neck fracture. He placed my arm in a splint and a sling and told me that I had to see an orthopedic doctor and that I would have to wear a cast for six to eight weeks. As you can imagine, I was not very happy about that.
Enter Orthopedic Associates of Marlborough. Dr. Hangen and his staff were incredible! Dr. Hangen was calm, kind and gentle with my injured arm. He told me that due to the way the arm had broken that I would not have to wear a cast, but I had to do range of motion exercises at home in order to help the arm heal. I was ecstatic!
I had my two week follow up visit this week and my arm is healing nicely. I can now drive again and as long as nothing changes, I don’t have to go back for another follow up visit.
The staff at Orthopedic Associates of Marlborough were all caring, compassionate and professional. I wish I could remember all their names to thank them individually, but Karen, Mary Beth, Kat and the woman who took my blood pressure and temperature were all great, as is everyone who works there.
I don’t want to experience any more broken bones, but if I ever do, you know who I’ll be calling first!
