    Having wrist surgery is not a pleasant experience, obviously. I am glad I found Dr. Dodds. My previous surgeon, Dr. Cousins, could not fix the non-unioned ulna after the accident. He was the one that recommended me to Dr. Dodds. With his help I am well on my way to a complete recovery, and I am very happy about that. There was a time when it was unclear how much functionality I would regain in my right hand. Thanks to Dr. Dodds, from a quality of life standpoint, my hand works just fine now. It's hard to exaggerate how grateful I am for all his help in achieving this outcome. Please make sure he knows that.
