Thank God that I was lucky enough to get scared to this phenomenal and excellent doctor. Ronald Vandell is the best he is the only one hand surgeon that didn't tell me that my finger needed to be amputated because the injury was so severe. He put it back together through a very complex process which he had returned on Monday then a seminar cross country in which he learned that exact procedure that my hand required. On Saturday the the third orthopedic surgeon in a row had said forget it but one of them because he was my foster father suggested eye contact Dr Vandell because they work out of the same office I was privy to the information that he would be returning on Monday so I waited thank goodness and my finger works perfectly. That was 35 years ago. I don't know if he is still in business or even alive but I am now searching for him again and desperately because no other orthopedic doctor seems to be able to do something that I need done, not even my own foster brother who actually runs an entire orthopedic group. I feel that doctor Vandell is of an ability and caliber surpassing the rest of the medical field. If anybody knows him, please thank him for me please ask him to please contact me. Thank you and I hope you are lucky as I was in your search for the best when good enough, pretty close, and imperfect bone unions are simply unacceptable because perfection is possible and attainable when you rise to a higher standard and esteem to do so. If doctors like Dr. Vandell exist anywhere on the planet, may we find them! Good luck. Sincerely, Jackie?
