Our patients' opinions
I broke my arm skiing. I found the first orthopaedic surgeon who was available at a moment's notice, and that was at the NYD clinic. Good thing, because I had never experienced such care before. Despite the bitter aftertaste of the fracture, the experience at the clinic was phenomenal😍💪
My under-age son was cut from head to toe. Literally, because he took a good fall off his bike and broke a few bones. Now everything has grown back nicely, so he will be able to continue his adolescence nicely.
I recommend it to all (slightly less cautious parents)!😅
They took very good care of the broken bone in my wrist. Now everything is great and I am extremely happy with the NYD clinic🙂
