- “I was in a car accident in September. Dr. Whitman did emergency surgery on my arm where I had shattered both bones; He put plates and screws in it. Dr. Whitman was helpful to my wife and me. I have been delighted with him and his office staff. He did not hesitate any questions either one of us had. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon. ”– Joe S.Treating Provider: T. Lisle Whitman, M.D.Patient Rating:

- “Over two consecutive summers, I managed to injure an elbow on a beach trip. Each time, I returned to Bristol, visited Dr. Hommel, and felt very confident that I was in good hands. He listened, ran tests, clearly explained what he believed the problem to be, and consulted with me about the best possible and most effective treatment. Each time, he was able to treat my injury effectively and get me quickly back to normal. We've joked in our family that perhaps I ought to visit Dr. Hommel before I go to the beach this summer. However, if this should be the third consecutive summer of a beach-induced elbow injury, I won't hesitate to call Dr. Hommel for treatment.”– Jonathan J.Treating Provider: Gabriel Hommel, M.D.Patient Rating:
