• My provider, Teresa Pianta, was actually one of the best providers I've ever seen in my life. 35 years old. I'm used to doctors just sitting there on a laptop, typing and not saying anything. She was so in-depth, probably spent at least 10 minutes with me just looking at my x-rays and zooming in and at different dimensions, explaining everything. She was even drawing my injury on post-it pads and explaining in depth exactly what was going on, what happened to me, and how I was going to heal. Very one-on-one, personable, and I felt comfortable the whole time. I'd highly recommend her.

So I felt very confident that Dr. Pianta was being honest with me and not trying to softpedal the fact that the doctor who did the surgery on my wrist had made a mistake. So he had put the pins in the wrong bone. That doctor has since been suspended and I'm grateful for Dr. Pianta to try to fix the mistake that he made.
