Recently while workamping in the Medford, Oregon area I broke my ankle/leg. I had surgery in which they placed two plates and 16 screws in my right leg. This is being covered by oregon workers comp.
My question is, I am now in Las Vegas at my daughters house to recover, which they say may take 9 months. I am in the area of Craig and Rancho. I need a recomendation of a good Orthopedic surgeon close by that would take over my care. If you wish send me a pm or email me at rvrodaz@hotmail.com
Sorry if I posted in wrong area as this is my first time posting on this forum
Thanks,
Rod

Also have your daughter this is the better of the many advices you will recieve.. This will give you a link to the surgeon on a near personal relationship.. not just a "going in cold".. Next would be a local health network referral..
