My name is Rosana and I follow Dr. Paley all the way from Venezuela. Why you should ask? I was involved in a car accident in 2001. I suffered multiple fractures and I nearly lost my life. Fortunately I was able to overcome the most serious injuries, but I was left with a problem in the left femur, which brought me 8 years of agony, multiple failed surgeries, and a fracture that wouldn’t heal. My left leg was shorter than the other (5 cm) and the femur was bent as a result of all the failed interventions.

Luckily, I was able to contact Dr. Paley, who is recognized as top in the field for reconstructive orthopedic surgery. When Dr. Paley took over my care in December 2007 I was unable to walk without pain or a limp. By March of 2008, I was walking without a limp and today I walk perfectly. I can do many things I once thought were out of the question, like wear high heels and have unrestricted movement of my body. During my treatment, I stayed in Baltimore. It was there I was able to see how he attended to children with birth deformities. I saw him attending to each child with dedication and what he does is a true miracle.

I wake up every morning and I thank Dr. Paley for the joy I have, as now I am able to walk normally. My gratitude towards him is and will be indescribable because for me he is an angel.

Dr. Paley, I will be forever grateful to you, your hands are blessed.

Rosana
