Write ReviewPatient Experience with Dr. Kempton
- Riley
I was involved in a car accident which resulted of a complex scapula fracture and displacement. I visited a previous ortho surgeon who said the fracture was too complex for him, but when I visited Dr. Kempton and staff, he was ready to do the operation the next day. Everything was very well explained to me by Dr. Kempton and his NP. Dr. Kempton is extremely thorough and takes the time needed (trust me not all surgeons do, I work in the OR). I did research on my recovery time for this procedure and all literature indicated 8-12 month. I was fully recovered in 2 months with full ROM and strength. I can give credit for this to Dr. Kempton and his wonderful staff. I would highly recommend.
