Dr. James Monica performed emergency surgery to address a femur fracture. I first met Dr. Monica in the hospital where he briefly explained the surgical procedure and why he believed it was my best option. The surgery went very well and within 3 months I am now walking unaided. I still need to strengthen my leg muscles and Dr. Monica provided written exercises for my leg, emphasizing which exercises were most beneficial for me. I met with Dr. Monica several times following the surgery and he always conducted himself in a calming manner while answering any questions in a clear and concise way. He was also accommodating with requests, such as my request for a temporary parking placard. Overall, my experience with Dr. Monica had been very positive and I highly recommend him as an orthopedic surgeon.
