Message from a Grateful Patient
We recently received the following message from a Peachtree Orthopedics patient who has been treated by both Dr. Cassinelli and Dr. Chang. We wish him well on his future endeavors:
“Paula, I wanted to send a quick thank you for the care that you, Dr. Chang, and Dr. Cassinelli showed me over the last 5-6 years. With your help, I have moved far beyond the barely functional situation you saw me in when I first visited. I have finally gotten to the point that I can start working out again and have been going at least once a week to a personal trainer. Between the work you have done on my spine and the help from the PT, I have decided to pick up a long-lost hobby I used to have as a teenager. Based on my history I am sure you will probably not like this idea for me, but I am back to climbing mountains again. I have started small and am only doing 3-4 day trips on 6,000 foot mountains around the Southeast. Attached are a few shots from my last trip to North Carolina a few weeks ago. I do have another trip scheduled to Mt. Rainier in Washington State that I hope goes well. There is no way I could do any of this without the help you have all provided me with over the last few years. Don’t take this the wrong way, but I really hope I don’t have to come see you guys very often anymore. I am being super careful when I am out there, I promise! Signed, A Grateful Patient”
